noise Simple Noiser

[m-egger]

Heyya! 

Over the past couple of days I've been building and extending this, at it's core very simple, Noise generator tool. It's called, incredibly intuitively: Noiser.

I've gotten quite sick of always doing the same simple Noise-VOP over and over again so I built this nifty tool that saves me a small but accumulating amount of time (and energy) every time I need some noise. I'm really fond of it and it rarely takes me more than a couple of minutes into any project that I drop it down.

Here's a quick video demonstration:

And the DL: noiser.hda

and a simple demo screen of the defaults:

And that's the relatively simple setup.  

I hope someone else will find it as useful as I do!

 

Cheers,

Martin

 

 

PS: I just found a volume-noise tool in my OTLs-folder, so I thought I'd just share this as well. Practically the same thing working for both SDFs and Volumes (VDB & Primitive).

Looks like it would definitely come in handy!

Thanks for sharing Martin, I will give it a whirl later.

I appreciate it.

Alright, in the latest update of the tool on Orbolt, I made the long needed change of making the noise non-time-dependent when temporal frequency is set to 0 - so the noise is static. Until now, it was necessary to have a timeshift freeze after it, which was... not optimal. Also now it's working with the latest Houdini releases. :))

Here's the link to it again: https://www.orbolt.com/asset/Tortoise::Noiser

(I also updated the original post with the new version.)

Cheers,
Martin

Excellent. I love these small tools, not necessarily complex, which just save time.
And for that Houdini is the king.
Besides, I wonder why I didn't do it?
So thanks for doing it

Beautiful.
