Hi,

I have some issues trying to displace a snowy landscape.

I can't mix 2 textures with texture mixer to displace a map. If I try this, displacement simply don't work.

Is this a limitation?

Thank you

Doesn't material mix node have a displacement input?... Don't have LW near me at the moment, but I think it does. Plus UVs are required for displacement. You have a UV?

The Octane texture mixer node can't be used for displacement, but as FrankPooleFloating says, you could mix the maps using the LightWave texture mixer before plug the final texture in the Octane texture node.
