Hi,

I've been making materials and using displacement when needed - I have come a cross a problem where the displacement doesn't have an effect on the material I found out it was due to the material properties not switching the displacement to base this has happened a few times.

Before "Problem"

Displacement at 0.5%


Displacement at 10% (no matter what % it remains the same)



As mentioned above in the material properties the base layer isnt showing in the displacement slot I have to click the drop down and select it!

Do you knows steps to makes it suddenly unavailable?

Yes I do - When I clone a material that uses displacement it becomes unavailable!

Try moving your displacement thingy to your first layer. I suspect that if it's in any other layer than your first one then it's disabled/ignored.

Just tried what you suggested Max but as soon as I clone the material the displacement still becomes unavailable. Looks like a bug.

Hm, i see. Maybe it's related to the layermask texture you have applied to your specular layer. Try disabling or removing that texture and see if it works..

/ Max

Nope still the same
