would love some help on this idea #blender #b3d

I do it like this, then you just need to animate the factor from 0->1

Here's how you can do it with one Texture node. (But few more other nodes :) ) Scene here also :

The way you did it is actually great! I believe @JacquesLucke is working on a Sample Position node, which will let you sample the same noise texture at different positions at the same time

As someone already wrote in the comments, I would use the "combine xyz" node

You want it to loop infinitely? Add fract() / modulo to the timing

I think you could sample the noise in "circular" coordinates with some trigonometry. Hard to explain with words. I try to wire up an example.

Use a combine xyz, animate inly the x. Otherwise, scene time->math multiply (to change speed)-> x value of combine xyz->to bottom vector of your Add node
