Now that examples of materials and procedural terrain functions are circulating, I thought it might be timely to list the nodes that are available in Vue 5 Infinite but not in Vue 5 Esprit (demo)

The above image shows the V5I menus, with the nodes I was unable to find highlighted in the V5E demo in red.

If anyone can spot errors/omissions, please let me know.

I have Esprit and those red highlighted functions all look new to me. I am very jealous of these features after seeing the new shore-effects materials created in infinite. In many ways i am more interested by the potential of Infinite for creating new textures rather than adding a million trees!

A comment though... The number of new options is not as big as it would appear on this screenshot. Several of these nodes are not compatible with each other. The graph editor will disable automatically incompatible nodes from the menu based on what is already connected to that node, which is a great time saver. The new options are a wonderful improvement though. I am sure we are just scratching the surface and that this shoreline effect is just the beginning of what can be done with it.

How do you get the nodes to connect??? My are always free floating :(.

Above and below each node, you will see little lines which turn into arrows when you move your mouse over them.

Click on one of the lines, this will be on end of the link.

When you click it, circles appear on your graph for places to connect the other end that are compatible with the type of data contained by that link.

Simply keep your mouse button pressed and drag a line to the circle you want to connect and release the button when you are on the circle.

Thanks for the screenshot - that will make it a lot easier to determine whether it makes sense to try following a tutorial while working with V 5 Esprit.
