* Displace Node Displaces an input image's pixels based on an input vector mask. This can be useful for a lot of things, like hot air distortion, quick-and-dirty compo refraction, compositing live footage behind refracting objects, and more! The amount of displacement in the X and Y directions is determined by: * The value of the mask's channels - (red) channel 1's value determines displacement along the positive or negative X axis - (green) channel 2's value determines displacement along the positive or negative Y axis If both the channel's values are equal (i.e. a greyscale image) the input image will be displaced equally in both X and Y directions, also according to: * The X scale and Y scale buttons - These act as multipliers to increase or decrease the strength of the displacement along their respective axes. They need to be set to non-zero values for the node to have any effect. Because of this, you can use the displace node in two ways, with a greyscale mask(easy to paint, or take from a procedural texture), or with a vector channel or RGB image, such as a normal pass, which will displace the pixels based on the normal direction.

Welcome to the fun world of open source. For instructions on building and installing Blender, please see the file named INSTALL. ---------------------.Blanguages and the .blender directory--------------------- The .blender directory holds various data files for Blender. In the 2.28a release those are the .Blanguages file containing a list of translations, the translations themselves and a default ttf font. Blender checks for the presence of this directory in several locations: - the current directory - your home directory - On OSX, the blender bundle is also checked - On Windows, the installation dir is checked. If you get a 'File ".Blanguages" not found' warning, try to copy the .blender dir to one of these locations (your home directory being recommended). -------------------------------------Links-------------------------------------- Getting Involved: http://www.blender.org/docs/get_involved.html Community: http://www.blender3d.org/Community/ Main blender development site: http://www.blender.org/ The Blender project homepage: http://projects.blender.org/projects/bf-blender/ Documentation: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=documentation&file=index Bug tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=125&group_id=9&func=browse Feature request tracker: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=128&group_id=9&func=browse
