Bake down blended material displacement
For everyone that render with path tracer is a serious deficiency to not have displacement as in PT doesn't work.
Override that problem with single material is simple, we just apply displacement map to the mesh and set magnitude.
...but, if we could bake down it(displacement) from the blended material too we could do the same thing (we have just to remember to have the same tile as blend material if we change it)

That's a neat idea, no idea if it is something we could do, but adding it to the list!

With this tutorial I've been to bake the blended displacement map. I still have to try with your blended master material but I think it is applicable to anyone.

This is a UE5 tutorial showing how the height blend functionality of my layered material system is then baked to a texture and used to displace the geometry.

aha awesome, thanks for the video!
@Roger_ Any thoughts here? Could this be done on our Master Material?🤔
This is very very tricky 😅 Balu and I had a chat about texture baking a while back, and I hope we can get back to it at some point because the potential for performance's sake is really big.
cool! 🙂 I hope to hear news about it! Thanks 🙂
