Directional Slope Masks

WAS · October 06, 2018, 05:56:23 PM

Here are directional slope masks packaged into internal nodes, and separated by face value.

These are derived from bigben's work here: https://planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,1520.0.html

Nice, thanks! Glad you got it working, and appreciate the improvement and re-share.

Even if I do not figured out, for what this slopedingelsbums is, I say Thank You... and save it meanhwile at my hard disc
(Hope I will find it out in the future...)

For example snow blown by the wind onto one side of a mountain. Or mushrooms only growing on one side of a treetrunk.

Wow! Thank you very much. This will be very useful for some scenes I had to discontinue.

Thnak you, a very useful addition to the tool kit.

Aha... Thank you Hannes :-)

Thank you WAS, for sharing this!

I wonder if it´s possible to get other compass directions than North, South, East and West? Is it posssible somehow to limit/set the masks to a specific bearing (like 189 degrees for example)?

Cheers

Robert

PS I´m still hoping and wishing Planetside could make a "compass constraints" tab next to the "slope constraints" in the surface layer, like we discussed in the thread below. It would make these things a lot easier...

I'm not sure if that's possible with this setup. I do think it is possible. I bet @Hetzen , @Tangled-Universe , or @mhaze would know. I experiemented with some things but there are things I do not understand how to convert to TG functions.

Just add a rotate Y vector node after the get normal.

Roberts · February 11, 2021, 12:33:28 PM

Thank you Dune! It works like I want it to.

Yes you can create a directional mask. Here's something I made May last year:
