libnoise is a portable C++ library that is used to generate coherent
|
||
|
|
noise, a type of smoothly-changing noise. libnoise can generate
|
||
|
|
Perlin noise, ridged multifractal noise, and other types of
|
||
|
|
coherent-noise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Coherent noise is often used by graphics programmers to generate
|
||
|
|
natural-looking textures, planetary terrain, and other things. The
|
||
|
|
mountain scene shown above was rendered in Terragen with a terrain
|
||
|
|
file generated by libnoise. You can also view some other examples of
|
||
|
|
what libnoise can do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In libnoise, coherent-noise generators are encapsulated in classes
|
||
|
|
called noise modules. There are many different types of noise
|
||
|
|
modules. Some noise modules can combine or modify the outputs of
|
||
|
|
other noise modules in various ways; you can join these modules
|
||
|
|
together to generate very complex coherent noise.
