Overview
noisegen is a web-tool used to generate noise and coherent noise using a variety of algorithms.
The resulting images may be used in a number of applications from background images, terrain heightmaps, textures, and more. It is also intended as a learning platform for the exploration and understanding of the various noise generation techniques.
It is implemented entirely client-side using JavaScript and HTML5. It has a dependency on the following libraries:
Noise
The following 2D noise algorithms are available, or will soon be available, for use. They are split into 'pure noise' and 'coherent noise' categories:
Pure Noise (via Random)
- XorShift32
- XorShift128
- WELL512
- CMWC131104
- Mersenne Twister 128 (not yet available)
- Mersenne Twister 19937 (not yet available)
Coherent Noise
- Perlin Noise
- Simplex Noise
- Worley Noise
- Wavelet Noise (not yet available)
- Diamond-Square (not yet available)
Examples
The following are example images generated by noisegen.
Perlin Noise (Raw & Clouds)
Simplex Noise (Raw & Islands)
