Hi folks,
A patch is now available for Velout It fixes a few bugs related to
Perturbation and layers, shifting in the roof shader, plus a couple of image
quality issues with the Tiles.

Veloutis a collection of 11 shaders sharing more than 70 procedural
textures. Originally developed in order to provide textures for buildings
and construction, the added noise, gradient, and perturbation shaders make
them essential tools for the creation of rich and detailed textures, and an
excellent partner plug-in for Anything Grooves.

You can download the patch or try out Veloutfrom the following links.
Veloutsupports an evaluation mode. During evaluation, Veloutwill only
evaluated a limited number of calls and then will only return the color
black until you restart Carrara
