circular texture node (polar coordinates)

[Slartibartfast]

Hi all!

I searched the internet for node setups that would bend an image like below, but I could find any info about how to do it. So I had to do it myself. I'm sure there is many setups available for those of you who find better search criteria than me, but if anyone is interested, I'll post the nodes here. If not, just move on. Nothing to see here

Connect scalars to the inputs, object spot to object spot, and enter the compund and load an image. If you exaggerate the scales on bump-inputs, you will have an old vinyl disc



Oh, you have to remove ".txt" from the compound file after downloading it.

There is this old thread which from memory also had a follow up from Exception in the beta section and some more examples. NT forums search being what it is means I can't find it !!! Definitely interested in your setup tho, as these things always come in handy in the most weird places.

Thanks adk! I played a little more with this and made a tileable pattern. See below.

The node is attached here (with.txt extension which you have to remove). It occasionally crashes Layout. If someone knows why you are welcome to tell me
