Turbulence Texture

The Turbulence texture can be used to create many different effects based on banded noise and has a different quality than the Noise texture. This flexible texture can be used to create wood, marble, flesh, and many other useful textures.

Turbulence Texture Parameters

• Power - Controls overall texture brightness.

• Offset - Shifts the Turbulence pattern in 3D space.

• Octaves - Sets the noise detail's scale.

• Omega - Controls fractal pattern detail.

• UVW Transform - Positions, scales, and rotates the surface texture.

• Projection - Determines how the texture projects onto the surface.

• Use Turbulence - Toggles the turbulent noise calculation, which multiplies against procedural noise.

• Invert - Inverts the Noise texture values.

• GammaThe function or attribute used to code or decode luminance for common displays. The computer graphics industry has set a standard gamma setting of 2.2 making it the most common default for 3D modelling and rendering applications. - Adjusts the Noise texture's luminance values.

The next Image shows Turbulence used for the DiffuseAmount of diffusion, or the reflection of light photons at different angles from an uneven or granular surface. Used for dull, non-reflecting materials or mesh emitters. Node with different settings.
The settings shown in the figure on top (with Gaussian Spectrum for Power and Saw Wave Texture for Offset input) are used for the globe on the right.
