The Voronoi procedural texture settings you get when, for example, you create a Displace modifier, are much more customizable and there are many more different effects you can achieve them with the Cycles material nodes version of the voronoi procedural.

Is it possible to get effects like you can with the displace texture with the cycles material nodes texture? For example something like this:

The Voronoi Texture used by the displacement modifier is generated differently since it can also be used in the Blender Internal renderer. The node you speak of is the Cycles texture node, a completely different engine and thus completely different parameters and code.

But yeah, I'd like to see some more procedural textures ported from BI to Cycles, particularly this Voronoi texture and the Cloud texture (which has many different algorithms to choose from, whereas Cycle's Noise texture is a simple Perlin noise if I remember right)

  • $\begingroup$ Nope, just uses two voronoi textures with different scales mixed with Difference. $\endgroup$ – gandalf3♦ Oct 19 '13 at 1:00
