Hi guys,

I'm going to build up an Ice shader and i need the displacement, but displacement with X-particle skinner doesn't work?

In my example file which is attached i took a normal Sphere and a ice mesh animation with a Skinner node from x-particles.
The same shader works with the sphere but won't with the ice mesh animation thing inclusive the skinner node.

Any Ideas or solutions? Maybe it's a bug?


Cheers

Skinner or so doesn't differ for plugin. They're same if they produce a polygon mesh. Problem about displacement that needs proper uv coordinates.

Hi aoktar,

yes and that's why displacement won't work, because x-particles skinner don't allow any UV-map to generate.
You have to bake every frame to become a mesh with UV mapping data . Maybe i'm wrong but i think that's it
with displacement on x-particles except you bake the whole animation.

Please have a look at my file and tell me what you think about it? Is it wrong what i'm saying?

There's not any good uv coordinates. You can check it in uv mode from info kernel. See image.

Hi aoktar,

I know, but thanks a lot for your effort.
