Hi，How can I do this kind of noise(like this picture) by houdini .thanks

I think you would want to use a noise function to drive shader displacements. The veins vop would probably be a good starting place.

here's an attempt:

Basically, you should be trying to generate noise like this:

In the picture you provided it looks like a few noise functions are being multiplied to achieve greater variation.

thanks guys！I will have a try for all your replies.

here is my test.I use the unifiednoise node. It's new to h12.Quite useful!

Looking really good! I'd still recommend eventually moving the noise functions into the shop context and utilizing shader displacements to avoid some of the aliasing on the displacements in your picture.

Thanks for your advice! cool !
