I've been fiddling around with shadergraph for a day now.. and this is the best I can come up with...
I wanted to actually make something similar to this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.istockphoto.com%2Fphotos%2Ftopographic-map&psig=AOvVaw3CKY_xfXJUIjW8PhmRfquA&ust=1752260405493000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBYQjRxqFwoTCOjR9JX9so4DFQAAAAAdAAAAABAL

but i can't figure out how to get the banding correct..

#

Brown one being the one i came up with...
and this being just 1 leg of the shader..

#

i tried to do multiple branches/legs with varying values to get an outline for each section but i can't figure it out.. the bands just outline the solid pieces.. and when i multiply they just get a bit darker/or lighter..

#

i think im missing a critical piece but i have no clue...

any help would be greatly appreciated

What exactly are you having trouble figuring out?
For something similar to the lines it should be enough to multiply the noise by, a value like, let's say 5, and then step the fraction of that by some value between 0 and 1 that describes the thickness

#

That should leave you with 5 stripes if the noise goes from zero to one

#

Looks like you're already doing something fairly similar tho, that's why I'm not sure if that's the issue

#

You can get the sizes to be more uniform using derrivatives, I honestly don't know how to do that propely tho

#

Randomly multiplying yielded some results tho
