Rectangular Noise

Nice work Mogn.

To prove there's more than one way to skin a cat I had a go.

Nice noises gentlemen.

Ah, now were's getting somewhere. Looks good, Jon. Did you 'just' displace or use as vdisp?

I had a day off, so had a look at what you can do with displacement to vector from the default scene. The strata was formed from the y information, that had the cube pattern (x,z) added on the side slope part of y, mixed with another scale, then plumbed back into a vector to displacement. Didn't need a compute, which is cool.

But should work fine after a compute terrain via a surface layer lateral displacement.

Sugar cubes! Awesome.

I just have to dive into this again...

The Sugarcubes (Bjork) are from Iceland right? 

[Oshyan]

Haha, indeed Jon!

Cool.

Now that is very cool man!

Et, les ponts ? lol

Playing with hetzen's file I remembered something I did with my file,
but totally forgot about.Since it has a certain effect here also it might
be interesting for some of you.
First pic shows jon's Cubed noise as it is applied to the default scene
and a simpleshapeshader block.Only the size was adjusted to fit the
scene.

The second pic shows the same,but this time with a transform shader
set to use world space added at the end (after the last blue node).

Nice and simple,hope you like it,too.

Edit: sorry for the little mess up,something went wrong while posting

Interesting, good for cities...

In the meantime I found that using the blocks in a vdisp setup doesn't work as expected (well, I expected it, so maybe I should say 'as wished for'). Only at one side it works, but on the other side the cubes displace inwards, which is quite logical. So you either have to vdisp per terrain angle, or simply use (lateral) displacement after a tight compute terrain or compute normal. Really nice rock effects are possible though.....

[j meyer]

Yeah,that's a problem with vdisp.
Would be nice if we could choose a center to displace from
in both - and + directions on the axes or radial,but that would
lead to other problems -for the programmer at least - I guess.
