ShaderNoiseLib

A library for noise functions in visual shaders.

Note:
The noise functions are not going to produce the exact same results as godot's noise functions. I simply wanted gpu noise functions which would produce the same types of noise for my shader graphs, while the outputs can be used the same way, they will not 100% match pixel-by-pixel.

If you want to recreate "domain warp", you can add PerlinNoise3D to the UV, for both the x and y coordinates.

Types of noise implemented

• [PerlinNoise3D] Perlin noise, taken from the godot documentation. Since it is not included by default, but does follow the goals of this project. I have included it. I did not write this shader, it has been modified to use the z-coordinate of uv (now uvw) instead of time.
  • Inputs
    • uvw (vec3) - XYZ texture coordinates
    • offset (vec3) - Same as UVW, added
    • scale (vec3) - The scale of the noise, higher is smaller
  • Outputs (between 0 and 1)
    • result (float) - The resulting noise value at uvw + offset
• [VoronoiNoise3D] Voronoi/Worley noise (aka cellular noise), written from scratch, similar outputs to godot's FastNoiseLite Cellular mode.
  • Inputs (usage similar to Cellular mode)
    • uvw (vec3) - XYZ texture coordinates
    • offset (vec3) - Same as UVW, added
    • scale (vec3) - The scale of the noise, higher is smaller
    • distance scale (float) - A float which scales the distance, this has a similar effect as multiplying the output distance and distance2 values.
    • distance function (int [enum]) - An enum indicating which distance function to use, note: currently no dropdown to select the mode. I'm not sure if this is possible and can't look it up since I don't have internet right now.
      • 0 - Euclidean
      • 1 - Euclidean squared
      • 2 - Manhattan
      • 3 - Hybrid (average of 0 and 2)
    • jitter (float) - The randomness of the noise, recommended between 0 and 1, negative values are supported
    • 3d (bool) - Whether the noise is 3D, w from uvw has no effect when 3d is false.
  • Outputs (between 0 and 1, clamped)
    • cell value (float) - A random value for the cell the uvw + offset is closest to. The values of the points are consistent, just like with godot's noise
    • distance (float) - The distance to the closest cell, creates a pattern with black dots
    • distance2 (float) - The distance to the second-closest cell, creates a pattern with black "scratches" or "stars"
• [PixelNoise3D] Random value per "pixel", pixels are scaled
  • Inputs
    • uvw (vec3) - XYZ texture coordinates
    • offset (vec3) - Same as UVW, added
    • scale (vec3) - The scale of the noise, (1., 1., 1.) would mean one value per whole number. (10., 10., 10.) would mean 10 values per whole number on each axis.
  • Outputs (between 0 and 1)
    • noise (float) - The resulting noise value at uvw + offset

Note:
VoronoiNoise3D with jitter at 0, using the cell value output looks like pixel noise, however, it is less efficient to calculate, if you need tv-static like noise, use PixelNoise3D.
