This is a deformer based on Perlin noise.

Features:

  • Three different noise types
  • periodic (repeatable) noise option
  • automatic animation, time input attribute available e.g. for remapping effects
  • five different types of how the deformation gets applied:
    • planar, cylindrical or sperical projection
    • normal direction (polygons and NURBS only)
    • random vector (not yet implemented)
  • local or world space deformation
  • limit deformation to a certain region, defined by a cylindrical, spherical or cubical volume
  • falloff against the borders of that region using linea, smooth or user-defined (ramp) interpolation, invertable
  • manipulator for main Attributes ((press t) 

Additional notes:

  • I could not do an in-deep test on all plattforms. If there are errors please let me know immediately.

  • Removed the Maya prior to 2008 version to keep download size acceptable. If you need an older version fell free to let me know.
  • ATTENTION: For the deformer's attribute structure has changed, scene files using the old version of the deformer may not load correctly in some cases.
  • turbulence and fbm are actually algorithms, that use kind of a fractal synthesis of simple perlin noise to generate a more complex pattern. At the moment, the number of octaves used is static, i.e. there is no extra attribute for that. I thought about implementing that, but at the moment I don't think it's necessary. If you are of another opinion just let me know, I'm probabely gonna change it in future versions.
  • There will be a installer (at least for windows users) to simplify the installation process but i didn't have enough time yet to figure that ou
Please: if you find any errors or if you have ideas/suggestions to improve the tools don't hesitate to let me know!
