Octane Triplanar Texture

Last modified: 10 March 2025

The Triplanar texture maps Textures onto a surface based on the XYZ axis in either object space or world space. The mapped Textures do not require UV coordinates, but instead act as Planar projections from three directions.

By default, the mapped Textures are red, green, and blue colors, but you can connect Textures to each axis instead of colors. Figure 1 shows a Triplanar texture is connected to the Diffuse channel.
