Need help making fake depth for a 2D object

[Edddd_64 (Silly Goofy Guy III)]

I want to create the illusion of 3D depth in a 2D object, I have a circle and I want to give it a material that makes it feel like a 3D hole in the surface (example below)

I’ve tried layer weight nodes and they don’t seem to work, cant really think of anything else that could give this effect other than depth offset (I dont know how that could be possible though since I cant do that stuff + im an idiot, I’ve tried searching for tutorials but there are none).

You mean parallax effect like for example this (?) :

Interesting Parallax Technique

[image] [image] In a recent tinkering session, I discovered that it’s possible to use a white noise texture paired with a greater than node to mix between two texture coordinates, effectively allowing you to display a texture twice with one node. The drawback is that there’s a grainy quality drop, but this also opens the door to a lot of interesting effects and possibilities. Like a quick way to do fake parallax without duplicating a ton of image textures. [image] [image] If you eliminat…

Pretty much, yeah!
