Can you animate or change perspective of textures in real time/have textures that follow camera view

[DeckardX08]

It turned out more complicated than that. Light Path - based effects can not not affect how the material receives shadows. Only how the object is “perceived” by other objects during render. So even for simple task like making a shadow colored, you’ll need to Mix Shader the main material with colored Transparent BSDF shader. So no idea if controlling normal map strength with shadow is possible

When "Is Shadow Ray" even works? (Solved)

Red object casts the same shadow as white object. I believe shadow rays make sense only when light goes through the object, so it has to be somehow transparent. [image] Samples are supposed to detect light only, so this way the shadow will be unrealistic and brighter, because red is additional light. It’s still possible to emit negative light But this does not work with Is Shadow Ray. [image]
