Pan a Distorted Texture?

Imatk · Apr 2012

Ok I know there must be a way to do this, but my brain isn't working or something.

I need to pan a texture but I also need to distort it. (plug in a vector into the UVs)

How do I go about this?

Nevermind figured it out... brain fart!

You might as well put your solution in the post, you never know when someone might google it, and this post comes up as a result.

Just needed to use two "Add" nodes.

One Add with a Tex Coord and my panning distortion texture plugged in.

Then plug the result of that into another Add node with the same TexCoord plugged into the other port... then that into the UV coords.

I think you can do this more gracefully and with less instruction count just by plugging in your UV distortion in to the coordinate input of your panner.

Yeah I tried that but it didn't work for me.

I had to use an add that plugged the TexCoord into the panning distorted texture and then use the same TexCoord and another Add and plug that into the Coordinate of the Panner for the diffuse texture.
