Quadspinner Supernoi - MDK 1.1
QuadSpinner is elated to release the unprecedented Material Development Kit (MDK) 1.0. This debut volume of cutting-edge technologies empowers you with endless possibilities and superior control over color, shape, displacement, and texture. The MDK 1.0 will quite literally transform your experience in Vue.
We believe that granularity is the key to digital nature. And our MDK directly supports that philosophy. These smart tools generate exacting granularity and texture without disrupting the artist's pure vision. You can achieve radical levels of realism and enjoy the process more. The MDK gives you the freedom to focus on your desired end results without getting bogged down by the math. But don't take our word for it - see for yourself!
The complete Material Development Kit 1.0 includes Tincture, LightBender, Supernoi, CrackMaker, and RockBreaker.
Whether purchased separately or as a Value Pack (scroll to the bottom of the page for purchase options), all revolutionary MDK 1.0 components were painstakingly designed to set you and your work apart. We take our expressed commitment to give you innovative tools seriously!
Check out the MDK's powerful features:
- Unparalleled shortcuts to realism at your fingertips: the harvest of QuadSpinner's rich field study, stripped into different fractals in Vue, and encapsulated into these intelligent MetaNodes.
- Multi-level functions are condensed into individual MetaNodes.
- Friendly intelligence: the math is built inside the MetaNodes. You make the strategic decisions, set your primary preferences, and all the interdependent math calculations will automatically and proportionately align themselves.
- All key elements that comprise the MetaNodes are exposed so you can easily modify them. The middle calculations are handled for you, enabling you to focus on intended results instead of laborious and time-consuming trial and error.
- MetaNode settings are treated by feature rather than by functionality. For example, in any given MetaNode, instead of having to deal with multiple fractals, filters and dozens of corresponding properties, we encapsulate them in small intelligently named chunks. This smart system allows you to concentrate on the visual results (cracks, flaking, color, etc) rather than on the burdensome math (fractals, maps, filters).
- These MetaNodes either replace existing Vue default nodes or provide new functionality that wasn't present before, arming you with more power and greater ease. For example, the Tincture nodes are 16-48 times more complex than Vue's default nodes. Just ponder that!
- Every parameter is extractable and can be connected to any other node, creating limitless possibilities and enhanced openness and flexibility.
- Intuitive names inside the MetaNodes take away the guesswork of specific functions, minimizing your learning curve.
- All nodes provide 'explicit output' so you can expand upon them as needed.
- These tools are developed for reusability. Save modified copies of MetaNodes as Quickstarts and build your own Presets Library.
- All MetaNode aspects can be animated. The entire MDK has been optimized for large scale film and animation purposes.
- All nodes come with QuadSpinner's signature render speed enhancements to help balance and safeguard that critical ratio between speed and quality.
- A comprehensive User Manual on the MDK 1.0 + 1.1 is available on quadspinner.com/MDK.aspx.

SUPERNOI
QuadSpinner's essential Voronoi-multiplication MetaNodes build realistic shapes out of iconic fractals for material, terrain, and HyperTerrain development. Field expeditions reveal that one of the most commonly occurring breakage patterns in nature is similar to Voronoi. We have taken that foundation and expanded it to give you outrageous realism and artistic control.
Supernoi
- This classic Displacement MetaNode excels at making cracked terrains and HyperTerrains.
- Captures one of the most esthetically pleasing shapes in nature, regardless of the object's scale, whether a small pebble or a majestic mountain.
- Enables you to create massive dramatic mesas by combining Supernoi with Vue's Strata Filter on Procedural Terrains.
Geonoi
- Large scale Supernoi Displacement with GeoSimulation for realistic terrain features, based on nature's diversity of rock formations.
- Moves beyond the simple pattern of classic Supernoi, adding geological randomness.
- Comes with separate controls over the Supernoi and GeoSimulation fractals for optimal detail management.
Carbonoi
- Emulates real world rock formations with its large scale Supernoi Displacement and huge crystal-based surface simulation.
- Compounds Supernoi's multi-faceted shapes by exposing crystalline composition for hyper-realistic sculpts.
- Comes with separate controls over the Supernoi and Crystal Simulation fractals for optimal detail management.
