Hi everyone,
I'm writing a channel shader which will utilise a third-party pattern generator library. At the moment I can render the pattern but it's showing a big seam, whereas it should be a seamless procedural texture. The library author says I need the 3D coordinates for the point to be textured.
Right now, in the Output function I'm getting the coordinates using the supplied ChannelData pointer - i.e. cd->p.x, etc. and passing these to the library. This is getting the UVW coordinates, but clearly it's not what I need. What am I doing wrong?
Please can anyone give me any pointers to where I should be looking? I've looked at the SDK examples and searched here extensively but although there's a lot of threads on shaders, none of them quite answers this question.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
