Hi
Is it possible to exactly replicate the animated Antialiased Flow Noise VOP using VEX ot the Attribute Vector/Flow Noise SOP?
Or is a VOP absolutely necessary?

Hi,
You can do this in VEX easily:
You can do this in VEX easily:
#include <voptype.h> #include <voplib.h> vector noise = vop_fbmFlowNoiseVV(@P * chv("freq") - chv("offset"), ch("rough"), chi("maxoctave"), ch("flow"), ch("flowrate"), ch("advect")); noise *= ch("amp"); @P += noise;

PaoloGiandosoanimatrix_THANKS! This is super useful!

Anything with the Attribute Vector/Flow Noise SOP?
AA Noise SOP uses Unified Noise - Static VOP which uses pyro_noise.h. AFAIK vop_fbmFlowNoiseVV is not available this VOP.

The vop fbm flow noise wrapper is a wrapper for the flownoise VEX function. Pyro noise also has a wrapper for flownoise, exposed on the unified noise vop as 'perlin flow'.
Unified noise has different scaling, and the wrapper is different from the voplib one, so they won't match exactly, at least not without reverse engineering the exact offsets and scales to make them match.

If I understood correctly, there is no way to replicate the AA FlowNoise in the the AA Noise SOP
Also, AAFlowNoise and FlowNoise VOPs are wrappers for the flownoise VEX function, did I get it right?
What do you mean with Pyro Noise? When I create an attribute VOP I see 2 nodes called unifiedNoise and UnifiedNoise_Static. They both have a Noise Tyepe called "Perlin Flow" available. Does it mean that both these nodes set to "Perlin Flow" are also a wrapper for the flownoise VEX function?
The AAFlowNoise is so useful that I am puzzled sideFx has not added it to a SOP already.
