Can you add together vectors before you connect them into a Redirect node?
Specifically, I have imported, painted bitmaps that I want to drive X and Z warping (so the bitmaps are purple (red and blue)). These colors are converted into vectors, then into Vector Displacement nodes where the vectors can get amplitudes, then into a Redirect nodes, which go into the Warper input of Warp Input Shader nodes. This properly distorts the noise map. I can control the directions by the bitmaps and the amplitudes by the Vector Displacement nodes.
However, I would like to be able to add the Vector Displacement nodes together BEFORE sending them into the Redirect Shader (and only having one Redirect), rather than daisy-chaining the Redirect shaders. There could be times when I do not want the end product of a Redirect back into the next Redirect, but simultaneously. If I could add the Vector Displacement nodes together beforehand, I could give various bitmaps different intensities (even positive and negative amounts) which would give a different result than the serial Redirect nodes. But currently, using a blue Add Vector or Add Multiplied Vector do nothing; the original image is shown at the end of the Warp Input Shader.
Can adding vectors be done? See attached screenshot.
Thanks,
