This article explains how to create a variable lattice thickness driven by 3D Simplex Noise in a Ramp. This technique is useful for creating Stochastic foam.
- Start with any Implicit Body.
- Add a Voronoi Volume Lattice
- Add a Trim Lattice and use the Voronoi Lattice and the Implicit Body as the inputs
- Choose lattice to remain: Inside
- Add a Ramp to use as a thickness modifier
- In the Scalar Field of the Ramp, add Simplex Noise 3D
- Change the frequency to vary the thickness
- Set the Ramp values
- In the Scalar Field of the Ramp, add Simplex Noise 3D
- Add an Offset Body to thicken the lattice
- Use the Volume Lattice for the Body and the Ramp for the Distance
Watch the video below and download the attachment for a detailed example. Try it for yourself and recreate the steps using a Volume Lattice or an Orthofoam lattice. Change the input numbers to see the effects they have on the result.
