Questions tagged [perlin-noise]
Perlin noise is an algorithmic (computer-generated) effect developed by Ken Perlin, often used for simulating elements in nature and for procedural terrain generation, especially in situations with low levels of memory. It is also pseudo-random, and can be in any number of dimensions. An improved version of this now exists, also developed by Ken Perlin, and also covered by this tag - simplex noise.

How does real Perlin noise work?
I find lots of articles but they cut parts out to simplify the process. I am trying to write a function to generate real 3D Perlin noise without skipping steps like averaging the 4 corners ray somehow....

How to calculate 2D perlin noise for a procedural 3D surface?
I generate a mesh from a 3D perlin noise function, the goal now is to add a 2d perlin noise to the surface of the 3d mesh. My issue is ensuring continuity in the noise and taking the x, y and z ...

Is using values from a cryptographic hash function for Perlin/Simplex noise innapropriate?
The permutation maps are usually the numbers from 0 to 255 arranged in a random order. If I were to use a cryptographic hash function to convert a string, and then use the result's individual integers ...

Why is my perlin-noise generated texture a uniform grey?
I'm following Brackeys' tutorial for perlin noise and i'm at the point where he's just done the offset thing but this whole time all that i'm seeing in my project is a plain gray square, no matter ...

Add wobblyness to moving object
I've been working on a custom enemy "AI", the way it works is it generates a point inside a colliders bounds, then moves the enemy towards the point. Once the enemy reaches it. The point is ...

biome blending using multiple biome (altitude, humidity) points
I have a noise function for altitude: float getAltitude(x, z) and noise function for humidity: float getHumidity(x, z) and at each cell of my terrain I calculate a (altitude, humidity) point, and then ...

Why Does Offsetting Perlin Noise Cause Zooming In To No Longer Work?
I am creating a game in which a world map is generated using Perlin noise, and then specific points in the map are rendered using higher resolution Perlin noise. I am trying to do this by zooming in ...

Perlin algorithm generates weird artifacts
I'm writing a Perlin noise generator in C++ for terrain generation but the generator produces weird JPEG-like artifacts instead of proper noise.
I've tried doing it using C# in Unity and confirmed the ...

How to make a cubemap image with perlin noise?
Recently I just finished a program which makes a plane image using perlin noise. Now I want to make that image a cubemap image.
This because I want to apply it to a planet (which was made from a cube)...

Using perlin noise as a procedural voxel heightmap without a texture atlas in Unity
I was creating a heightmap for my procedural voxel world in Unity using 2D perlin noise. I don't want to use anything from a texture atlas, a brown Unity material is good enough for me. The issue is ...

How to write Perlin Noise generated data to a vector in Rust?
Tell me if i need to be more specific.
My program is advanced enough that it can read tile data from a .txt file and display a tile image for each tile ('~' = water), I am trying to make my game use a ...
