Thanks to Your Help Fractal Voronoi Noise Was Added Into Blender!

The skin looks really nice!

Thanks!

@Hoshinova

It’s not that I don’t want it to be built in, it’s rather that it’s impossible using Blender’s current node system. I already had a discussion with another Dev . . .

I don’t seem to be communicating my point effectively – since I’m far more of an artist than a coder, I’m gonna try a visual aid:

. . . Blender’s node system currently prohibits any kinds of cyclic dependencies, which makes it impossible. This is exactly what JacquesLucke is trying to fix with his Serial Loop Zones So I’d have to wait until Serial Loop Zones are ported to shader nodes anyways before such an input can be added to the Voronoi node.

I don’t think what I’m proposing would create cyclic dependencies. Athough I realize (thanks to your explanation earlier) that a Serial Loop Zones shader node would put a grid input through fractal functions like your new fractal Voronoi now does to the default (and perfectly optimized) quad grid data, if the Voronoi node could take alternate grid input as shown then both Voronoi functions and fractal functions would be feasable in that single node.
