Displacement driven colour

[mhaze]

I expect some of you will have realized this already but displacement can also drive colour. File in file sharing.

But why so complicated?  If you use the colors of a fractal, you can drive both colors and displacement in other nodes, from the single fractal. And combine those. Or maybe I miss the point of your file....

Using the PF  colours doesn't always work as well as using displacement masks.  It's just a different solution - try using to colour the inside of cracks for example.

Besides, the fractal warp shader only outputs displacement - does it not?

[Dune]

Yes, I believe so. In that sense it's an interesting way of putting it together. Here's another way to use a basic color for displacements and colors, to be adjusted and combined however needed. Easy way to color and displace, say, cracks.

I tried a similar set up with my file.  In more complex situations(3PFs) I got a messy result,  using displacement to drive colour produced a simpler clearer result.  I guess there's a place for both techniques.

I really appreciate you guys posting and sharing these techniques!

That's brilliant Ulco, thanks for the visual tute.

this is a lotta fun, many scenes in this file.....Thanks Mick.
