I´d like to -somehow- assign an empty object to drive a procedural texture. The idea is that I can rotate, scale or move the empty and thus it transform the procedural texture (bricks, noise texture, etc..)



How can I manipulate a procedural texture using the position of an empty?
enter image description here



Thanks.

    try with the Object output of the Texture Coordinate, maybe you'll get what you want

As @moonboots has commented, you've already got it.. and just done a bit too much?
This setup puts the texture into the Empty's object space, so transforms on the Empty will transform the texture.

    It is often helpful to debug the procedural node coordinates with a setup like this



    As x,y,z get mapped into rgb. Here you can visualize the difference between all the different coordinate outputs, as well as check the correct transformation. As moonboots pointed out, the "Object" output works best for what you are trying to achieve.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
