Anisotropic Noise

Generators / Noises

Strips of randomly offset segments, each with a random grayscale value, with configurable crossfade and blur between segments.

Select a node to adjust its parameters. Double-click a node to inspect.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Range	Description
`segments` Segments	int	4	1 to 512	Number of segments along each strip. Each strip's segment grid is shifted by a random offset.
`strips` Strips	int	256	1 to 512	Number of strips across the pattern.
`strips_by_resolution` Strips by Resolution	enum	false		Set the strip count equal to the image resolution, one strip per pixel. `false` : Use the Strips value directly. `true` : Set the strip count from the current graph resolution.
`orientation` Orientation	enum	horizontal		Pattern direction. `horizontal` : Run the pattern horizontally across the texture. `vertical` : Run the pattern vertically across the texture.
`smoothness` Smoothness	float	1	0 to 1	Linear crossfade between adjacent segments. 0 = hard edges, 1 = fading over the entire segment length. Values above 1 have no additional effect.
`strip_blur` Strip Blur	float	0	0 to 1	Gaussian blur along the strip direction. Independent of Smoothness; blends across neighboring segments, reaching about three segment widths at 1. Typed values above 1 keep widening.
`disorder` Disorder	float	0	0 to 1	Displaces the noise pattern for variation or animation.
`disorder_speed` Disorder Speed	float	1	0 to 4	Multiplier on disorder displacement distance.
`seed` Seed	float	0	0 to 100	Random seed for variation.
