| Aug 7, 2020 at 23:49 | comment | added | shaundiedarko | I'm beginning to think it's just not possible. The Texture mapping maps the texture to the coordinates, in this case the empty. I broke down the vector into XYZ inverted the numbers, and plugged them back into the vector socket of the texture and it did invert the texture, but rotating the empty still causes the texture to rotate in the same direction regardless. | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 23:30 | comment | added | Ron Jensen | This is more challenging than I thought it would be... What exactly comes out of the "object" node? | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 22:40 | comment | added | shaundiedarko | I was hoping to use random rotation on any axis. | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 22:27 | comment | added | Robert Gützkow | That's alright. Is it only supposed to rotate around the x-axis? | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 22:25 | comment | added | shaundiedarko | A node solution would also work, but I was really hoping to find an Empty solution because it'll make it easier to animate later on. | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 22:24 | comment | added | shaundiedarko | Yes, this is the node setup, but they should both be "object." Sorry for the confusion :) | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 22:12 | comment | added | Robert Gützkow | Is the use of an empty a requirement or would a node-only solution be fine as well? | |
| Aug 7, 2020 at 22:07 | comment | added | Ron Jensen | I'm confused. Is this your node setup with both textures already? And you want to drive the bottom one in the opposite direction? Why is one "object" and the other "generated"? I think you're right, and it shouldn't be hard to accomplish, once I figure out what "it" is. :) | |
