How do I get this camouflage pattern using procedural textures?

How do I get the gray, dark gray, and blueish-gray camouflage pattern of this robot using procedural textures?

Which node setup do I need?

Also try Voronoi Euclidian / Manhattan noises, Manhattan feels bit more like geometric pattern:

Reduce randomness for a blockier look.
You can blend between Manhatten and Eucledian by setting it to Minkowski and setting the exponent somewhere from 1 to 2.
1 = Manhatten
2 = Eucledian
32 = Chebeyev

Thanks you! I will try that.

Here is what it looks like on my end, what am I doing wrong?

I’m not sure, but try using object coordinates with applied scale if scale is not applied already.

Why arent’t the 3D and F1 options available in the voronois node?

CarlG · February 4, 2020, 8:36am

I’m not sure, but I think this was introduced in 2.82.

What blender version do you use? Latest stable is 2.81a and 2.82 is in beta at the moment.

LBJ · February 4, 2020, 2:23pm

I’m using Blender 2.8

Here’s something that will work in 2.80

Not related to the material, but does Sehelanthropis really look that much like Rex when crouched down, or is this some sort of hybrid/Transformer model?

what would be the param in 2.81 new voronoi nodes ?

thanks

In 2.82+, some parameters were deleted, some were renamed and there are some new parameters…
Appart from the fact that there are now specific routines for 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D; the following has changed:
‘Closest’ and ‘2nd Closest’ are now called ‘F1’ and ‘F2’.
‘Crackle’ is now ‘Distance to Edge’.
‘3rd Closest’ and ‘4th Closest’ were removed (sadly)
The rest of the options (‘SmoothF1’ and ‘N-Sphere Radius’) are new.

RickyBlender · February 4, 2020, 4:04pm

how do I set up the new parameters ?

where is the cells thing now ?
distance would be what now ?

thanks

‘Cells’ is now the ‘Color’ output.
‘Distance’ is now called ‘Euclidean’, but remains the same.

Lumpengnom · February 4, 2020, 4:28pm

Distance can be either Eucledian, Manhatten, Chebeyev or Minkowski. The latter being a unification of the former three.

I could not make the last nodes set up work !
anyone can upload a 2.81 sample file

here is another way to set it up

thanks

I made the same nodes that you posted, but why does it appear in stripes?
