Laci's wip

You can make the float output discrete by using band textures.
I usually setup stuff like this by first using primary colors for the inputs, then plug the textures in there once everything works.

thanks, is there a way to change the randomization seed?

That ' dirty late hour test' looks really nice!

Thanks. I started this project in both cycles and luxcore, cycles being a safety backup is something goes terribly wrong with luxcore.

please help. Shadow terminator is going to kill me...

btw this is a 9min. render at 2048x2048.

You can manually assign object IDs to the objects.
Or you can rename them (the random ID is derived from the object name).

I think the only option is to make more faces there. It won't cure terminator problem, but you can make that squares less evident.
Bump for some reason choose to ignore phong smoothing at some faces (that's my opinion on the matter)

Oh great thanks, so maybe a small feature request for the future to have it right at the node..? So that I can quickly reshuffle patterns.

Yeah, I definitely noticed that the more promiment bump, the more apparent is the terminator effect. Cycles has issues with terminator too, but they don't seem to get worse by strong bump.. Really annoying.

Also, I know higher polycount can help. But I'm afraid I'm gonna end up with some insane scene as I fill it with objects, the chair is already pretty high poly.

a quick(40min) 4K test of lighting.

[lacilaci]

some more early testing...

You really like 4k i hope you don't build project on high resolution. it can be very frustrating for render time noise and slow preview.
