Noise
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Apply simple noise shading to a material.
Noise
Method #
This node applies simple noise to the shading of a material node. This can be used to deform, recolour and change the lighting on a mesh.
The output of this node can be connected to other shading nodes, to build up a more complex shading system.
Parameters
TBC
Parameter Details Mapping Type
How the generated shader is applied to the surface.
Amount
How much noise is generated per pixel.
Intensity
The intensity of the effect that is applied.
Scale
Scale the size of any noise generated.
Preview In Viewport
Preview the effects of the shading node on the channel it’s applied, without other nodes further in the chain being used.
These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.
Parameter Details Position X
The objects position along the local x-axis.
Position Y
The objects position along the local y-axis.
Position Z
The objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation Heading
The objects rotation around the local y-axis.
Rotation Pitch
The objects rotation around the local x-axis.
Rotation Bank
The objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale X
The objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y
The objects scale along the local y-axis.
Scale Z
The objects scale along the local z-axis.
Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.
Parameter Details Position
Toggle inheritance of the Position from the parent.
Rotation
Toggle inheritance of the Rotation from the parent.
Scale
Toggle inheritance of the Scale from the parent.
World Position Only
Inherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties.
Inherit Time
Toggle inheritance of time from the parent.
These properties control how the shading is used on the material surface.
These properties control attributes for generating the noise.
