Redshift OSL Texture Swimming

Hi Sassi,

I dont supoose you know any way of making an OSL texture stik to an animated mesh?

I've got a swirly OSL pattern that seems to be generating in World Space, when I hit play the object just swims in the texture.

I've tried UVs, Pin Texture, DIfferent Projections but there doesnt seem to be a way to get it to stick.

Have a ttached the file, any ideas?

Thanks again!!!

Thanks for the file, MaverickMongoose.

My contribution is limited here:
If you need this shader to stick: Bake it.

The example was certainly not optimized for this, but maxing out the UV space (no overlap) is perhaps a great idea.

Baking might also help keep the colors in different Color Management settings more on the course if needed.

All the best

Cheers Sassi, good idea!

Would I use the BakeSet method from this tutorial to do that in Redshift? https://youtu.be/FQ0VuAKBIZM

Is that basically what you did?

Thanks again!

Hi MaverickMongoose,

Yes, I used RS Baking for this. Check your UVs for the best results.

All the best

Great, thanks again Sassi, I'll give it a try!
