In Modo's shader tree, I can stack displacement layers on top of each other - is this possible in Cinema 4D with Octane? I can't figure out a simple way to stack multiple displacements

Hi,
you need to change the Displacement type from Texture to Vertex, then you can do whatever you want:

Can you stack texture displacement too ?

Oh gosh, that's so fantastically simple. Thanks so much. Had no idea it would be so easy to do. Much appreciated, Beppe!

HI Beppe,

Hey sorry, I'm a bit confused - the displacements now only seem to occur at the Vertex points. That makes sense, given the name "vertex displacement", but is there a way to get it to still act like a texture displacement? I'm displacing a model with very few vertex points, so I'm obviously not getting any detail!

Am I doing something wrong?


Edit: subdivision level - got it!
