That may also be possible… you can check how OSL makes use of the w float in its build in noise function, and try to implement it in your noise…
The code is located here: https://github.com/imageworks/OpenShadingLanguage/blob/master/src/liboslnoise/simplexnoise.cpp
(check the simplexnoise4 function)
here’s an example (all i did was to propagate the t float all the way to the builtin noise functions (which accept 4 floats as coordinate)
float safe_noise(point p, float t, string type)
{
float f = 0.0;
/* Perlin noise in range -1..1 */
if (type == "signed")
f = noise("perlin", p, t);
/* Perlin noise in range 0..1 */
else
f = noise(p, t);
/* can happen for big coordinates, things even out to 0.5 then anyway */
if (!isfinite(f))
return 0.5;
return f;
}
float noise_turbulence(point p, float t, float details, int hard)
{
float fscale = 1.0;
float amp = 1.0;
float sum = 0.0;
int i, n;
float octaves = clamp(details, 0.0, 16.0);
n = (int)octaves;
for (i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
float t = safe_noise(fscale * p, t, "unsigned");
if (hard)
t = fabs(2.0 * t - 1.0);
sum += t * amp;
amp *= 0.5;
fscale *= 2.0;
}
float rmd = octaves - floor(octaves);
if (rmd != 0.0) {
float t = safe_noise(fscale * p, t, "unsigned");
if (hard)
t = fabs(2.0 * t - 1.0);
float sum2 = sum + t * amp;
sum *= ((float)(1 << n) / (float)((1 << (n + 1)) - 1));
sum2 *= ((float)(1 << (n + 1)) / (float)((1 << (n + 2)) - 1));
return (1.0 - rmd) * sum + rmd * sum2;
}
else {
sum *= ((float)(1 << n) / (float)((1 << (n + 1)) - 1));
return sum;
}
}
float noise(point p, float t,float distortion, float detail, float fac, color Color)
{
point r;
int hard = 0;
if (distortion != 0.0) {
r[0] = safe_noise(p + point(13.5), t, "unsigned") * distortion;
r[1] = safe_noise(p, t, "unsigned") * distortion;
