[@kevingardner7782]

Hi, Great tutorial, very well done Is it possible you could do a tutorial on how to create custom video texture maps like the ones you have used ??

[@RIOTGEAR3D]

The textures used here were made in after effects, I had intended the channel to be oriented around blender and other similarly easily accessible tools. But similar effects can be achieved in most other tools

[@RIOTGEAR3D]

The first texture was made using this video copilot Ae plugin m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJa2iXquoN6lZs0&t

[@pedrocaudete5942]

Hi Riotgear, thank you and congratulations for the tutorial, it is very good. I've followed it and everything works fine, but I have a uvs map for the texture maps and another uvs for the displacement effect. So the transition between the textures is not done correctly. Do you have a solution ?. Thanks a lot.

[@RIOTGEAR3D]

Try using the same uv map for both the displacement and in your shader setup . And make sure to put in similar values to sync the two effects.

[@RIOTGEAR3D]

Although I did get reports that for some people, even after doing that and setting up the exact same values for the video textures. They still did not line up properly. If it persists, try turning the video textures into image sequences first before using them. I haven't tried this solution myself to see if it works but I heard blender plays well better with sequences in place of videos.

[@pedrocaudete5942]

@@RIOTGEAR3D I can't use the same uvs map for both. The repeats I need for the textures I can't put in the uvs for displacement. Thanks

[@pedrocaudete5942]

It is possible but you can only morph between two textures or shaders at a time, since the mix color node and the mix shader node both have only two inputs... So you could morph between the first two, then add another mix colour/shader and morph it again and so forth...
