Hi there! I need to mix a displacement texture, but with MixTexture node it doesn't work. It works with Native C4D Layer (but is laggy...)

For mix a displacement texture i need to use native c4d layer? Or there is other ways (excluding photoshop)?

Hi oMeGa,
in short, it is not possible, it is one of the current limitations of OctaneRender displacement.
You have to use Photoshop, Bodypaint, of at least baking the c4d shaders for having good results.

I've found this method working, but it gets laggy at times :

Laggy because it has to resample the Shader in Cpu and convert to an image. And use as image at the end.
