I used to use a free renderer called Centileo, which has a cool node called UVW Distortion.  It warps images or whatever is plugged in to create distortion so a straight lined texture can look a bit less perfect.

Is there anything similar with Arnold?  I can't find anything similar.  Any consideration for something to be made like this?

It would be nice to have some very minor warping of let's say a brick texture so it's not totally perfect.

Centileo also has a cool procedural scratches node that can produce nice scratches completely non-tiling.  Would also be useful to have that in the future.

You may use the Noise parameter of the UV Transform node

Is there a Gaussian blur node for images?
