A quick OpenCL implementation of ENDESGA:s 4D ShardNoise.
I also tossed in a nice trick for making any 4D noise into a perfect tilable texture by embedding a 4D torus.

so anyways. i got that normalmap to depthmap using DFT to work in Nuke too if anyone is interested:
here is the Nuke implementation. (it is a group gizmo so you do not have to worry about using it as it becomes actual nodes in your scene.)

aight bois! i talked to TinyTexel on shadertoy and he showed me his really cool implementation of Normal2Depth using fourier space filter inversion: www.shadertoy.com/view/XcjXDc I spent a bit of time wrapping my smooth brain around the code and managed to cobble together the same thing in COP:s using OpenCL:
it is very very fast.

feel free to mess around with it

it is very possible that it has to do with my sucky code…. 🙂
here is a hip if you want to mess around with the Normalmap to Depth generator

Here is an alternative for dealing with displacement from normals or “slant lit” images:
i cant remember where i got the opencl code from. it was made a while back. maybe i wrote it? Maybe entagma? or i might have stolen it from someone here?

You can always do the old unsharp masking, like back in the day when photo labs smelled of Rodinal 😉 In this case the blur radius is your.. radius and the mask on the add cop is your amount.

had another thought about glow stuff… cops comes with a prefix sum node which makes what graphics people call “summed area tables” that let you look up box filters of any size pretty much instantly, so you can add up tons of them and get something p smooth <:cat_zuul:354000291768696834> even 100 layers stays pretty fast
i love it when you make a glow that’s realistic enough you start squinting because it feels like looking through dirty glass

since we were talking about dual rest fields for MPM i was dicking around in COPs and made a flowmap example for that, exactly the same concept but in texture space

finally got some proper time to test copernicus, loving it so far. did this custom flakes setup
(needs to relink hdri)
