My new favorite implementation of 2D value noise:

float value1(vec2 x)
{
vec2 i = floor(x);
vec2 s = smoothstep(i, i+1.0, x);
return mix(mix(rand(i), rand(i + vec2(1,0)), s.x),
mix(rand(i+vec2(0,1)), rand(i + 1.0), s.x), s.y);
}

✨Shader Magic✨

Here's a strange method for generating procedural AO/Edge/Cavity masks:

Distort a sphere mask by the normals of the mesh, wont work in all cases but it can look decent 👀💚

✨Shader Magic✨

Here's a cheap approach for generating procedural AO/Edge/Cavity masks: 👀💚

Compare the normal map to the mesh normal to highlight edges where they diverge, wont work as well at a distance though

I have some other items on gumroad that may interest you 👀💚

BloodMachine is out of date but still has a useful tutorial on creating blood splatters.

Hypercentric Lens should still work, lets you get negative perspective from your camera, will update to Blender 4.5 later

I’ve got a v1.1 update already in the works, which adds a couple other useful functions like mirroring and conversion between other data types, and a lil documentation too

It's a perfect fix for when Driver/OS settings fail, remotes are lost, or you’d rather avoid a high voltage shock—adjust everything in real time with a GLSL #shader

Still finding issues though — I expect I'll add it to early access around Monday 👍

I would like to thank my past self for creating a huge material filled with little node snippets like this one that I can now just copy and paste around. And material functions, tons of little material functions.

Be nice to your future self.

Do you think it'd be possible to make a panel cutter that doesn't create interior geometry? That's been a bool tool that I've been on the hunt for for a long time
