VectorDisplacement
Overview Permalink to Overview
VectorDisplacement displaces geometry using special input maps, where the color indicates direction and magnitude determines length of displacement.
Large displacement values might cause strong UV deformation.
When combining two VectorDisplacement nodes, it is more efficient to layer the input data using LayerMap or OpMap than using CombineDisplacement.

bound_padding Permalink to bound_padding
Float
default: 0.0
bound padding defines how much to extend the bounding box of the object. Keep this value as low as possible unless the geometry skips tessellation because control cage bounding box is out of camera frustum but the displacement stretch out of the original object bounding box (pre-displacement). Setting the bound padding too large will consume more memory and tessellation time.
factor Permalink to factor
Float
default: 1.0
A multiplier applied to the input vector

0 = “tangent” (default)

The space that the map bound to the vector parameter is in

default: [ 0, 0, 0 ]
The direction to apply the displacement. Bind a map with tangent or object space vector values here.
