random rotation texture tiles

Is there a function in skindigo to randomly rotate a texture at point of render?
I'm working on a large tiled floor area. They use the same patterned tile throughout but they are laid with a random rotation.
I can aproxuimate the effect by ganging up several tiles in a texture image but when I do a high arial view you can see the repeat and the file is obviously just massive.
Is there a function to do this within Indigo? Is it a Shader function?
Also I assume truely random would be a bad idea? Would that mean the tiles could change orientation from render to render?
Below is a diagram of the effect I am looking to achieve: Tiles with any rotation just repeating across a floor

Adding a functionality to define X textures to use from in the tiling and I'm happy too

Should be pretty easy to do in ISL at least

Ah that'd be amazing for tiles / floorboards / bricks. A kind of MultiTexture for Indigo.

Here's a first crack at it.
Randomly selects from 3 textures, with a random orientation for each texture.
Shader looks like so (may have bugs!)
Code: Select all
def rotate(real r, vec2 st) vec2:
let
s = x(st)
t = y(st)
in
if(r < 0.5,
if(r < 0.25,
vec2(s, t),
vec2(t, -s)
),
if(r < 0.75,
vec2(-s, -t),
vec2(-t, s)
)
)
def eval(vec3 pos) vec3 :
let
uv = getTexCoords(0)
st = rotate(gridNoise(uv), uv)
NUM_TEXTURES = 3
tex_index = floorToInt(gridNoise(vec2(x(uv) + 45655.0, y(uv) + 3257.0)) * real(NUM_TEXTURES))
in
sample2DTextureVec3(tex_index, st)

Damn that was quick
Will have a deeper look into it soon!
Thanks a lot Ono!!!

and mirroring function?

Mirroring is easy to add if needed.

Hi Folks...
Thanks so much what the ffort above... It does exactly what I would like to do.
However:
When I try to use the shader above I just get a black face... I assume its becuase it can't find the texures?
I'm using sketchup and relatively new to Indigo. Could someone give me a clue as how to apply several textures to a material please.

The code above isn't the full shader to copy & paste that way!
There are also texture definitions inside the igs file.
best to open the pigs above in Indigo, pick the material and save it as a separate file to analyze it.
Afaik Exporters aren't capable of importing/exporting multiple textures atm!
Ono, is there a Exporter friendly way of defining the textures directly in the Shader?

Not currently.

Setting some Variables that define maps and use them later on in the Shader would be useful.
Keeping stuff in the Shader would raise compatibility to Exporters, and ISL coding easier for n00bs like me ^^

I uploaded a material using this random texture selection approach:

You can replace the textures used with your own textures to make it work for ceramic tiles etc..
