Procedural Koi Carp Shader?

Hey guys, I'm trying to create procedural Koi Carp colors for my game. I'm using amplify Shader Editor as I'm useless at shader coding.



I thought about using several noise layers in various scales and tinting them different colors but overlaying them is an issue. I need each color to show through, like painting on top of each other.

Any ideas how this can be done? Cheers.

 

you can jsut lerp the different noise textures together with the greyscale value as an interpolator input, or you cutoff the noise texture at a certain point and use that as an interpolator input to get the sharp edges. So you could have a abse texture or color and then lerp all the noise textures you'd like on top of that.

 

Thanks. I could also pack the different noise into one texture to save space too right?

 

sure,you use the different color channels for the different noises or even different color stages within the same color channel

 

Not sure how I can add say red noise layer over a black main with some white noise without mixing the colours?

 

@derkoi I'm not sure if I understand your issue, but you could combine different image components with lerp, just create a mask and then mix source A and B with that lerp. Just like as if you were doing some compositing in a post-processing software or doing some masking Photoshop. But that way you could layer things, apply different patterns to different areas and so on.
