Animated Noise


Recommended Posts

Hi

The first thing that springs to mind is to use uv's that are unwrapped using the seam marked in blue. 

Layout the uv's so the long strip is vertical and then source your noise function from the uv attribute.

While doing this step the x component of your uv attribute up or down according to time.

this wouldn't tile however unless your uv strip went flush against the edges of the tile and you used periodic noise.

 

If you could find another way to create a looping attribute around your torus, you could then use that to source your noise.

You could check the angle of the vector from the center of the torus, creating a 1d value between 0 and 1, then remap that value so instead of going 0, 0.5, 1 it goes 0, 0.5, 0.

If you then used that value to souce your noise it would tile and work alright.

 

Both these approaches are similar, just with different wrappers.

Best of luck.
