After seeing Saul Espinosa share some really impressive demonstrations of the new SSS model. FWmlu7KVUAEQMxg.jpeg I wanted to give it a try as well. I used VOPs and a an iterative displacement process as well as the detangle SOP to try to procedurally generate some organic blob looking form.

Summary

Using some VOP nodes to build a pattern Screenshot at 2022-11-28 15-29-06.png


Distorting the pattern using curl noise applied to the input position, the pattern is then used to displace the mesh along it's surface normal. This can be done iteratively using a for loop with feedback enabled. Screenshot at 2022-11-28 12-41-01.png


Applying a detangle SOP inside the loop produces nice wrinkling and helps to prevent overlaps or penetration in the mesh.

Below you can see a render comparison with grey shaded and the displaced random walk SSS shaded. 2022 09 13 side by side.gif
