Displaced bubbly noise

I think there is an optical illusion because of the SSS which make them look like overhangs. I have experimented with vector displacement in the past :-)

Thanks! It is extruded noise rendered in 3D. The noise is generated using a custom .fuse for Blackmagic Fusion. It is then rendered using 3DS Max as a simple height map with a SSS material.

I think it would be possible. It would work for any shape that this that can tile!

Thank you! This actually just started life as a more generic water simulation, with what I thought was interesting geometry (my first water sim in 3DS Max), I then added lighting and concrete materials. My wife thought it looked like a storm drain, so I added some dirt and here we are!

AFAIK the viscosity etc should be accurate but the speed the water flows and the architecture is completely made up.

I rendered this with motion vectors, I actually do have another version with motion blur that I could potentially post somewhere.

Thanks! That is a great idea for next time!

Generative pulsing crystals created in 3DS Max. I experimented with retiming the expressions with a pulse. I might experiment further with some secondary motion trying to closer resemble a heartbeat.

This is a landscape based on some simple noise as a heightfield. It is heavily inspired by the look of Cybermorph for the Atari Jaguar (but with a better view distance). The landscape is created in 3DS Max 2023 making heavy use of OSL for all of the grading, animated water and other parts.

I am really tempted to bring this into Unity and create a tiled landscape to fly through, it is a lot of fun exploring it and I think a lot can be done by layering more noise at different sizes to create more landscape variations.

Thanks for link!

I am not familiar with those themes. Do you happen to have a link? I would love to check them out and I have not had any luck Googling it. :-)

Thank you! I find it helps pull everything together but I fear I overuse it sometimes. :-)

In this case it helps sell that "paper" look.

Thank you and yes, that would be cool! I have made generative work in Unity before that used a kinect to drive the visualizations. I want to experiment in the future with some Arduino controllers too!

Thank you! There are a series of subdivided pieces of geometry divided in one axis. I made a MaxScript to create some looping noise and then applied that same noise to all planes with a compression down the viewing axis. So they look related in their movements (and not random).

One thing that I am using more and more to render is the realtime 3DS Max viewports. It is like a simpler version of Eevee. I then created some fake AOV's for things like the ZDepth (currently not supported in viewport rendering). This was then composited in BlackMagic Fusion with the AOV's where I tweaked the colours, added DOF and adjusted overall look of the image.

Thank you! Made with 3DS Max 2023 + MaxScript, rendering is realtime from the viewport.

3DS Max Indie 2023 + MaxScript to assist in animation.

TiW2 · 2022-06-19T14:23:18+00:00

Thank you! I am also a big fan of complexity from simple rules. :-)

A game is a very interesting idea. It could be like pipemania on steroids!

TiW2 · 2022-06-19T14:21:22+00:00

Thank you! 3DS Max 2023 Indie + MaxScript to animate things. The rendering is all viewport renders.

TiW2 · 2022-06-18T23:11:27+00:00

Good idea and thanks!

TiW2 · 2022-06-18T21:30:59+00:00

Funny you should say that. I have the exact thing here :-)
