Lee Griggs shows how you can make a topographic effect using the noise shader and displacement.

Autodesk’s Arnold rendering specialist, Lee Griggs, shows how you can transform a single 3D plane into an animated topographic effect.

The tutorial shows how you can manipulate the noise shader by using a couple of conversion nodes. The conversion changes the color values of the noise to integer values by using color to float and then float to integer nodes.
