Converting al* shaders to Arnold 5 equivalent

[Saswat Sahoo]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any script that converts al nodes to their Arnold 5 equivalent?
We have a huge number of assets that used al nodes and now need to be ported over for Arnold 5.  The 'Convert Deprecated Shaders' script available with Arnold only handles alSurface and alHair so I might have to extend it in case there isn't anything already out there.

Can someone please help me find the Arnold 5 equivalent of these al nodes?

alBlackbody	aiBlackbody
alCache	aiCache
alCellNoise
alCel
alColorSpace	aiColorConvert
alCombineColor	aiComposite
alCombineFloat
alCurvature	aiCurvature
alFlake
alFlowNoise
alFractal
alGaborNoise
alHair	aiStandardHair
alInputScalar
alInputVector
alJitterColor
alLayerColor	aiLayerRgba
alLayerFloat	aiLayerFloat
alLayer	aiLayer
alPattern
alRemapColor
alRemapFloat
alSurface	aiStandardSurface
alSwitchColor	switchRgba
alSwitchFloat
alTriplanar

        

Thanks in advance,
Saswat

I'd go with OSL to mimic most of noises and utilities fom alShaders

I don't have access to the old al-utility nodes at the moment, but remember some of the equivalents.  None will act as a direct 1-to-1 if I remember correctly, but many can produce similar results.  Hope this helps.

I sure miss that old alCellNoise.

alFlake  -  aiFlakes

aiFlowNoise - aiNoise (kind of)j

alInputVector - aiUtility (for some operations)

alJitterColor - aiColorJitter

alRemapColor - aiColorCorrect

alTriplanar > aiTriplanar
