| Noise for GLSL 1.20 | This repository contains GLSL source code for Perlin noise in 2D, 3D and 4D, both the modern simplex versions and the classic versions, including periodic noise similar to the pnoise() function in RenderMan SL. The functions have very good performance and no dependencies on external data. The code is open source, licensed under the terms of the OSI-approved and very permissive MIT license. For licensing details, please refer to the LICENSE file in the repository. Repository |
| Perlin Noise | Many people have used random number generators in their programs to create unpredictability, make the motion and behavior of objects appear more natural, or generate textures. Random number generators certainly have their uses, but at times their output can be too harsh to appear natural. This article will present a function which has a very wide range of uses, more than I can think of, but basically anywhere where you need something to look natural in origin. What's more it's output can easily be tailored to suit your needs. |
