Randomized tiling function, eliminate repeating patterns in your textures!

[Solo-Paul]

so it wont work for default textures? i guess i need to merge textures myself. or add addition textureobjects somehow?

I've uploaded an example project: https://github.com/WitchDev/RandomizedTilingMaterials

Thanks for this!

Big Thanks for example!

I'll try to upload an example project within a few days to show how it works (with an updated version of the function).

Looking forward to it. Thanks!

That would be / will be awesome Thank You.

Thanks though I had done that already. It’s using it within a material that im unsure of. I added the material function call and im unsure what half the inputs and outputs need to be set as with good results?

I did manage to get something to appear after messing about but it doesn’t look right but I can see the tiled effect which is cool!

First create a new Material Function asset.

Copy the text from the .txt file OP attached.

Paste into the window of the Material Function.

Then you can use it in a Material.

This looks really useful but I've never used a material function before so just wondering if someone could do a quick step by step guide to get it working?

Ill take a look at youtube in the meantime but it would be helpful for everyone who comes across this in future to get this working quickly. Thanks!

Looks great! Now to make it world aligned.

This is amazing. I was looking into building something like this and found your function. Thanks!

Woah awesome. Just wanted to confirm I pasted this into a 4.20 project.Like you said the texture samples don't have RBGA in older ue4, so there's just nothing connected from the textures. But by just wiring the color and normal map anyways, the function still basically works in 4.20.

Also here's a blueprint reader with your code pasted for others to view the code setup https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/l3n_xi28/

I wonder if this can be used in an ocean material or other applications.

Thanks for linking the blueprint reader didn't know that exists.
Regarding the ocean material, you can definetely apply panning to the individual texture samplers and you can even pan the tiles for the samplers around. I'm not certain that it is ideal for oceans though.
Also, I noticed that one of the texture coordinate inputs is connected directly to "texcoord" and not the function input, if someone uses the function that should be fixed. Else you might run into weird behaviour when changing the input into the function.

This looks insane! Thanks!
