Thank you very much!

[@SwitchMaxFX]

Thanks! you helped me with some trouble I was having with houdini attributes!

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Happy to help!

GREAT STUFF

[@petrholusa5855]

Brilliant. Simple but I would not figure it out by myself. :D

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

Glad it helped

So using the vertex map as a mask for the displacement, does this mean that you choose 1/2 materials to have displacement? if that makes sense. I assume this single material is driving both the rock and the moss at once based on the setup but only see one displacement. Hope that makes sense.

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

If I remember correctly in this scene I only used one displacement because I didn't like the look I was getting with two but you could use a vertex map to control two displacements.

[@BrettCarlsen]

@@InsideTheMindSpace makes sense. Pipe them in same as the surface data etc (use vertex as the blend for the displacements) Your tutorials are great. Playing with an idea and side tracked now by these. Thanks so much.

@@BrettCarlsen Thanks. Sorry for distracting you. I've dropped off Cinema 4D but if Houdini interests you at all I would recommend giving it a shot.

[@BrettCarlsen]

@@InsideTheMindSpace on the list! Been learning 3D this year from scratch. Not my background at all haha. But Houdini is after c4d

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

@@BrettCarlsen Honestly if you have just started learning 3D I would completely drop C4D and start working in Houdini and learning it. I say that because it is a lot harder to go from an understanding of traditional workflow to a procedural one than just starting off with procedural. On top of that I promise you anything you want to do in C4D you can do in Houdini. The quicker you get into Houdini the better. You will save yourself time in the long run. Houdini is a lot harder to learn but worth it in every way.

it’s possible do this in arnold render?

[@InsideTheMindSpace]

I'm sure it is. I dont use Arnold so I don't know what nodes it would use but I am sure it would be possible
