Rendering displace only
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2018 9:45 pm
Hi,
I would like to make it appear as if a text would have been burnt in into a wood plane.
I tried to to make the text tool drive the 3d displace. This worked fine and I think it could look quite okay for my purposes.
Now my question is: is there a way to render the displaced area only? Because I would like to only have the shadows (and highlights) from the displace to add to the real image with a merge set to overlay maybe. I tried turning down the opacity of the shape which drives the displace but that made the displaced text dissappear as well.
It tried searching "render passes" and could not find anything useful. Maybe that is the wrong term?
Help would be appreciated!
