vd->TraceGeometry doesn't work for channel-shaders in the displacement-channel. Is this a know limitation? or a workaround available?

you need to switch on the raytracing flag for your shader.

Hi Paul,
The CHANNEL_RAYTRACING is flag on, otherwise TraceGeometry would not work.
(and I have also tried SHADER_RAYTRACING)
The problem is only in the displacement-channel, all other channels works without a problem.

i had a problem with this as well
i just disabled my shader for the displacement channel.
thats how i got around it.
do you really need your shader to work in displacement channel ?
or is this just a problem cos it crashes?
cheers

fortunately there is no crash using the displ-channel (at least here on my mac), but it would be important that I can use it.
would be great if there is a workaround for this problem

There are two issues:
- During displacement VolumeData->ray is NULL (as there is no ray for displacement). Shaders that access the ray without a NULL test may crash.
- TraceGeometry() cannot work during displacement, as the displacement modifies the geometry itself! The raytracing engine is initialized AFTER displacement calculations are done.
