Noise Generator

[stratified]

Hi,

I spent some of my (free) time creating a noise generator for Octane. The idea is to create an application where it's really easy to add new noise patterns based on the existing functionality. You don't have to worry about creating the user interface, that's all done automatically.

Right now I've only implemented Perlin noise, Wood rings (based on Perlin noise) and cellular noise. Perlin noise and cellular noise are excellent base functions for noise and more noise can be added quickly.

If you'd like to extend the script yourself have a look at noise-generator/materials.lua.

Here's a screenshot of the script:

Perlin noise

Worley noise (a.k.a. Cellular Noise)

And here's the code, it should work with OctaneRender 1.55 and 2.04:

Octane_noise_generator_0_11.zip

To install, unzip the archive into your OctaneRender Lua scripting directory (The directory configured via File > Preferences > Application Tab > Script Directory). You should have a file noise-generator.lua and a directory noise-generator in this directory.

cheers,
Thomas

Hi,

I have 0 knowledge about scripting I've tried adding NoiseGenerator.lua in the Octane standalone script editor but it doesn't open the script window. Could you please provide install instructions?

Thx

Sweet! is it possible to access LUA scripts from within the Plugins (C4D)?

Nice script
But doesn't work in OctaneRender 2.03
line 272 > info.preview:setPixel(x, y, t2d:get(x, y))
...\noise-generator/materials.lua:272: attempt to call method 'setPixel' (a nil value)

Stratified could you help to fix that?
Thanks!

No, plugins can't use the Lua scripts.

I've updated the code attached to the first post. The new version is 0.11 and it should work with OctaneRender 1.55 and 2.04.

No, plugins can't use the Lua scripts.

Why is that?
