At the moment, if I want to generate an OpenSimplexNoise texture, I’m restricted to either black and while noise or a normal texture. I want to send a shader I’ve written two different noise textures representing a displacement on the x and y axes. The normal noise textures will send data I do not want and sending two independent black and white textures seem to me to waste channels. Is there a way to create a single multicolored noise texture with noise in all four channels?
This might take some more work, but I was able to map colors from noise images into the rgba components of a color and create another image with it. Assume you have a scene with a Control node for the root and a TextureRect child. I also added a Button called RegenerateButton in my test to see it change. This also seems kinda slow, but as long as your not doing this all the time it might do.
