my little plug in function wishlist :)

[LightwaveGuru]

hi juanjo here my little wish list for some Octane lw plug in functions

1. animatable tolerance function for the dirt node (you can do it in realtime but not if you will animate this function over time)
2. animatable negativ height parameter for the displacement node (at time you can only animate in + up...not - down (under zero meter...for that you must invert the hight map to become that effect)
3. gradient texture2 node with integrated meter scale to define more exactly color gradients in XYZ
4. procedural input for the displacement node
5. a higher level of detail for the displacement node (more than 8192)..a 4 point poly with 8192 need 600 mb in vram...so i think we can go higher with that resolution about subdivide the root mesh...

Thanks for the list

I'll add the tolerance input to the dirt node for the next build, and make it animatable.

I'm afraid that all the other request are not related to the plugin, and must be supported by the Octane core to implement them in the DCC applications. You can use LW procedurals as displacement if you rasterize them using the texture image node, but the Octane procedurals are not supported by the Octane displacement system yet.

Thanks,

HURRA !

easy...i know...no problem it was only to beat a little bit jules to animate him to force the development from/for octane ...hehe...i know thats evil LOL
