This is a collection of procedural, seeded noises. Useful for CPU based raytracers and as building blocks for procedural art and textures.

The noises are optimized for speed. Most noises are available in all 4 dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D), some are only available in specific dimensions (or are still under development).

All noises have the same signature so that they can be passed as parameters to the supplied fractal functions. All return a value between -1.0 and 1.0.

This library has no external dependencies.

The images were generated by tests inside the lib.rs file. You can see examples for every noise there.

For example the Perlin noise image was generated with

fn generate_perlin_image() {
    let seed = 1;
    let mut rng = UniformRandomGen::new(seed);

    let width = 256;
    let height = 256;
    let img = ImageBuffer::from_fn(width, height, |x, y| {
        let noise_val = perlin_noise_2d(
            &mut rng,
            x as f32 / width as f32 * 10.0,
            y as f32 / height as f32 * 10.0,
            seed,
        );
        let normalized_val = ((noise_val + 1.0) / 2.0 * 255.0) as u8;
        Luma([normalized_val])
    });

    img.save("images/perlin.png").expect("Failed to save image");
}

This library is currently work in progress. More noises and fractal functions are in development.
