KA Abandoned FX water disc: create own custom?

pixelquack

I was under the impression I could use the water materials like any Iray shader - so far I can't, it only works with the water disc, which has a geometry segmentation whoch does not work for what I intend.

Any way to apply the materials to arbitrary surfaces?

Materials are specific to particular objects, shader presets can be applied to anything.

How many surface zones does the water disk have?  If only one, you could load it with the material of your choice then save as a shader preset (an option in the "File" menu). The you can load that shader preset onto any surface of your choice.

However, if the material preset loads texture maps that match the UV mapping of the water disc specifically, then it may not look the way you want it to on another prop.

It's a round disc and the UV is mapped in concentric circles, so no idea how feasible this is.
