Latest Nuke Add-on
A python script for generating a randomly tiled image. It can be used in many ways including:
1) Splatter a shape or image randomly over the screen at varying sizes and rotations.
2) Make simple 2D particles by plugging in an animated shape and it will randomly offset the time for each tile. With option to create depth matte.
3) Make a random stylised version of a second image using embossed tile shapes.
4) Create a 'painted' version of a second image by using various brush shapes as tiles and combining several RandomTile nodes over each other. With option to cluster tiles in certain areas.
5) Create a moving 'painting' by also providing distortion and ripple maps based on the plate.
