New Noodles: Alpha 0.3 "Tonkotsu"

Get them here:
instance-noodles

Some new & improved nodes + bugfixes but the tasty new flavors are Noise & CSG implementations.

Noise

New textureless magic noise suite based largely on the great GLSL postings of http://briansharpe.wordpress.com/
to use in a shader see InstanceNoodles\nodes\modules\Common\NoodleNoise.fxh
Of course there are nodes for people that don't want to mess with shader code though.

Includes 2D and 3D Perlin, Simplex and Worley, all with single octave noise as well as FBM, Turbulence & Ridge flavors. Worley comes with various distance metrics & cell functions. To get an idea of the (many) Worley combinations here's a nice reference:

CSG

Constructive Solid Geometry finally... Realtime implementation using distance fields stored in 3D textures or 'volumes'. Picture speaks a thousand words:

As well as the standard Union, Intersection & Difference operations as pictured above, 16(!) other combination operations ported from the very sexy GLSL raymarch lib: http://mercury.sexy/hg_sdf/

New DX11.TextureFX nodes

• Noise3D (DX11.TextureFX)

New Compute nodes

• Noise2D (Value Buffer)
• Noise3D (Value Buffer)
• NoiseDerivs2D (Value Buffer)
• NoiseDerivs3D (Value Buffer)
• min (Value Buffer)
• max (Value Buffer)
• S+H (Vaule, 2D, 3D, 4D versions)
• SumUp (Vaule Buffer)
• Vector4DSplit (Vaule Buffer)
• Normalize (3D Buffer)

New DX11.Geometry nodes

• Kinect2GS (DX11.Geometry) kinect2 texture maps to mesh, with optional player filtering
• SplineTrails (DX11.Geometry)
• SplineBuffered (DX11.Geometry) now has ribbon mode
• SDFtoMesh (DX11 Geometry) conversion of signed distance fields (as 3D texture) to mesh using marching cubes. This allows constructive solid geometry to be integrated with normal geometry pipeline

New DX11.Volume nodes (mostly for CSG ops)

• CombineSDF (DX11.Volume)
• BoxSDF (DX11.Volume)
• SphereSDF (DX11.Volume)
• TorusSDF (DX11.Volume)
• CylinderSDF (DX11.Volume)
• PrismSDF (DX11.Volume)
• ExtrudeTextureSDF (DX11.Volume)
• NoiseSDF (DX11.Volume)
• Resize (DX11.Volume)

for fast peek at the results:

• PreviewVolume (DX11.Layer)

Changed /fixed Nodes
DX11.GeomFX modules now have max elements pin. Set to 0 by defualt, which will use the old automatic behavior, or any other positive number for manual setting

+ various small bug fixes that I'm too lazy to type.

Spotted new product development in Copenhagen. Anonymous sources suggest the naming Quad Giga to supplement Classic, nano, mega and mini.

Thanks to the introducing-the-rekorder we have produced our first multi-million-views-animation:

Note to myself: Don't do complex animations anymore. Just rotating circles from now on.
