How to rotate a cylindrical distance field?

[Ivan3z]

I need the height of the cylinder to be on the vertical axis. However by default the height appears on the horizontal axes. I tried a few things but didn’t get the result I wanted

How can I do it?
Thank you so much!!

I found a way to rotate the cylinder… I really don’t know if it’s a correct way to do it or if it can cause problems… I discovered it by chance… I would like someone with experience to confirm if it is a correct way to do it or not.

Thank you very much!!

it does not work well…

Ok, I have already managed to rotate and translate the distance field of cylindrical.

I got a part of the code in this post:

Rotator -> Transform3x3Matrix -> BoxMask-3D (Rotations reversed!)

Instead of using a Transform3x3Matrix, you can do it a bit more manually with a bit of math. The screenshot below shows how I did it. [RotateBox3D]

And the other part of the code I got in this other post:

Making a cylindrical mask instead of sphere

I made the cylinder distance field from above into a material network that you can copy. What this does is return a distance field for a the world. This is set up so that “height” also scales worldposition. To scale the cylinder, multiply worldposition by something first. To offset it, add something. [43226-cylinder_distancefield.jpg] Here is that material applied to a few static mesh planes. You can see how each plane shows a cross section of where it intersections the cylinder function. I…

However and although my main problem is already solved. I consider that the code is not yet complete.

That is, the following is missing:
-Choose the radius of the cylinder
-Modify the scale of the cylinder.

If someone is good at image vector math maybe I can post here how to do it.
Because I’m very very newbie… I’ve been looking for the solution to this problem all day.

Thank you very much!!
