Blender's Dynamic paint

Post by Egert_Kanep »

Can we access the data created with dynamic paint. Could be useful for lots of things.

Doesn't it work with
- vertex colors
- vertex displacement
- image sequence
which we all support?

Yes, my bad, I just had to send dynamic paint to correct vertex color layer. But for some reason vertex color has same intensity everywhere, but in viewport it has falloff

Can you show the material setup (and/or upload the file)?

The same happens in Cycles, so it doesn't seem to be a LuxCore specific problem.

Yeah, I did a test with cycles also. One thing that works for sure is weights. But there is no way to use them with shaders yet :D

You could try if image sequence mode has the same problem or not.
By the way, vertex colors are not the best anyway, because in Blender they are stored with 8 bit per channel (like a common LDR image).
