Description:

I got intoxicated one night and all I could think about was making this so I sat down for about 6 hours making a cycles mask that could be used as a digital clock display. The node just needs coordinates (you'll see what I mean if you look at the material) and a time, and it outputs a binary map displaying the time. You can use this output with pretty much any shader. I haven't tried it yet but I can imagine it's super easy to animate. There are no images used to produced this display, it's all procedural and very scalable.

    If this prior example is borrowed from, you may want to give some credit here: https://blenderartists.org/t/procedural-7-segment-digits/1102053/4

    Node group for a clock at the bottom of the post, and was made in back in April of this year. BTW, I'm ok with CC-BY-SA, but that BY thing usually means crediting the sauce.

    I made every node here by myself with no outside inspiration. I didn't even know this axisted. I looked at the thing you sent me. It seems we had similar goals in mind. One of the biggest differences I see is that this person had a different node group for every number value. Mine just takes a value 0-1 and determines whether or not a section of a number will display.
