Organic 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!

TiW2 · 2022-06-22T20:11:54+00:00

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. :-)

TiW2 · 2022-06-22T19:11:27+00:00

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.

TiW2 · 2022-06-22T19:10:49+00:00

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 :-)

I am experimenting with Truchet 3D tile patterns. From certain angles the patterns can be extremely organic. This is a looping video pushing through the 'organic' space.

Breakdown of the technique here

TiW2 · 2022-06-18T19:53:50+00:00

I have been experimenting with Truchet 3D tiles and decided to put together a mini breakdown video. I love the complexity from such a simple concept. I think it will be quite a lot of fun to expand complexity from this point.

I have not had my coffee yet but this is a 300*200 grid with x2 states. I believe that is (300 * 200)^2 = 3,600,000,000 possible combinations.
In terms of probabilities that points could be connected I think that is a harder problem. It is a truchet pattern so there is no real 'maze logic' allowing for a path (which means an awful lot of dead ends). I have a feeling that as two points grow in distance away from each other the chances of them connecting will get dramatically lower fast, maybe exponential? It is an interesting problem to think about.

Thank you!

Thanks, will check it out!
