    Hi there i want to animate the displacement strength in the texture, by sound effector.
    I imagine that this is made with an xpresso tag, but i don’t know how?
    Do you any tutorial that can teach this, or anyone can help me?
    Thanks a lot

    Quick example (6.2 Meg download because I included a render test) with just a noise in the Displacement channel, using the Sound Effector and the Sample Effector node feeding into the Displacement Strength of the Material, Displacement Height would work too but the math is simpler using Strength.

    When I inspect your file, I dont see anything linking your sound effector to your displacement or anything? Which tab lets me see how these are linked together, and how would I go about linking these items myself?

    Hi there,

    I’m working on the same exact thing, but I when I open the link you posted it says it’s unavailable. Could you please post up your c4d file (assuming that’s what the link was for).

    I have the sound effector (object output) hooked up to the sample effector and sample’s strength hooked up to range mapper and then into my material’s displacement strenght.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks,

    Caitlin

    Here’s a re-upload. This time I left out the example vid and the sound, so you will have to link in your own
    sound in (but added a version saved in 14 with the Displacer deformer to give some feedback)
