I have a flattened noise map and need to put details randomly into the small areas like the "Jumble" fill mode in the patterns. Is that even possible? Doing this manually is hell of cumbersome und the filter becomes confusing? I just didn't find a proper solution yet.

Thanks

Use an Offset component. Feed your "details" into the Offset's Source map input and the flat noise into its Offset X/Y map inputs.

Now I've been using the component "Rotate" instead of "Offset" since it better fits my needs but why is "Rotate" not tilable or am I missing something? I actually got my final result with a clean and simple node tree but this makes the texture useless unfortunately. Is there possibly another way to randomly rotate the detail texture in those areas?

OriK,

To see why Rotation makes the filter non seamless try the following:

1. New Filter -> Hook up an Image component to a Rotate
2. Use the Overrides option to force enabling of tiling
3. Enable tiling on the result node and try rotating... it simply don't line up.


However! Step two may be the solution to your exact problem because the cells will render in seamless mode and the way you transform the image into those cells may hide the non seamless artifacts..

Oh man, that's it. I've been setting up the texture in Photoshop already and it took me hours. Thanks again, that helped me alot.
