Empty promises about procedural texturing

[moony]

A new texture that sounds interesting and from a dev. who has shown coding experience, but the issue is we have a proposal before knowing what the texture does and how it works and with no means to try it.

Didn’t something like that happen with the mandlebrot/lyapunov texture node. It got coded and built without any real use case being present (beyond doing Mandlebrot and Lyapunov renders).

What can you do with lyapuno and mandelbrot procedural nodes?.

Completely agree with Secrop here, although I’d also like a roughness input to the fresnel as well as the ignore backface switch. I’d much rather have a random scratches generator than Lyapunov and Mandelbrot (guessing it has a switch for Julia). I know we can build scratches manually, but it takes a lot of generators making it useless for rendertime use. And for offline texture generation there are probably better tools (but I don’t have access to these). Wait, Lyapuno noise? What’s that? Tho…

When people started testing it - it’s usefulness seemed extremely limited and it ultimately got dropped.
