@cthulusan I know precisely how simple procedural stripes are. 😀 The only difference between your set up here and the simple stripes I used on 2 of my characters is that I used a wave texture set to Saw instead of the gradient to get the interpolation and used constant interpolation because we were going to be far enough back that you wouldn’t really notice the color bleed edges 😀
In fact, when I did Herbie last week… I used nearly the same setup for his stripe decal as what you have here, except I used constant interpolation for the stripes (same reason as on the one above)
It’s such a simple way to produce stripes, yet can’t tell you how rarely you see stripes — even on things that are supposed to be “modern” or “futuristic” — and yet, they’re everywhere in real life (stripes and stripe based patterns like plaids, checks, ripples, argyles, and more). When I do see it, they’ve used an image texture, which is a valid way to do it, but far harder to make a simple change if you want to.
Glad to see you found that 😀
I think the white to orange flags could be a little further right and maybe slightly tighter on the color blends, but it still looks great!
