what am i doing wrong here?

i'm trying to combine 2 textures as displacement textures. i tried Mix, Multiply and Add but in all cases nothing happens (the displacement is ignored)

if i use the textures individually then the mesh is displaced as expected

Hi - use the Baking Texture to bake the texture to a physical file, which can then be plugged in to the Displacement node.

Thanks

i was hoping for something a bit more interactive

is this an Octane limitation (not the plugin)?

It's interactive. Plug your mix texture into the baking texture node, then the output to the displacement node

There are 2 displacement nodes in Octane.

Texture displacement - fast, using voxels, but limited to single images (or baking node). Can have artifacts/leaks

Vertex displacement - can use any texture/procedural. Creates real subdivided geometry, so can be slow.

You can plug a mix texture directly into Vertex displacement, but texture displacement needs a baking node after the mix.

got it working now thanks as always to you both
