You might find use in just sliding parameters around yourself to produce a single image. Drivers are what makes things animated, but animation isn't a requirement. Much of procedural animation is learning which ranges you want to animate, and learning which parameters do what.

Don't be afraid to tweak the values in the drivers. You can cut and paste drivers across parameters or nodes. 5 + 1Īdjust the multiplier and starting point to test different value ranges for parameters. Here we use frame count and some math to make a perfect loop over 480 frames (16 seconds): sin(frame/154) *.

The purple highlighted parameters are known as drivers. Experiment with connecting Color output directly to Base Color to see defaults.īrick, Checker, Gradient, Magic, Musgrave, Voronoi, and Wave textures offer endless amounts of fun visuals to explore. Color Ramps are used to customize the color output. But you can also get some pretty funky stuff just combining 2 or 3 nodes together. You can chain a lot of nodes together to make some very complex visuals.
