Check Out Updated Gabor Noise Node In Blender 4.3

With Blender 4.3 currently in beta until November 6th, users are actively testing its new features, set to greatly improve art production workflows. This time, 3D Artist and Game Developer Tim Greenberg, known online as passivestar, showcased the updated Gabor Texture Geometry Node in Blender 4.3, which looks promising for quickly creating striking, stylized shapes.

This node has also been optimized with fewer inputs. The Gabor Texture evaluates Gabor noise at the input texture coordinates, visually defined by random interleaved bands whose direction and width can be controlled. Here, passivestar is using a custom Blender productivity-boosting add-on called Quick Menu, which will also receive an update with the release of Blender 4.3:
