Simplex Comeback #437

Closed TheoRetisch1 closed 4 years ago

TheoRetisch1 commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am always frustrated when I can only achieve a reasonable distribution under high effort and think back to the good old simplex command.

Describe the solution you'd like I would be very happy if the simplex distribution would be available again as pattern and mask. It was a great tool for texturing and flowering. I think the functionality of simplex doesn't need to be explained here again, because it was sufficiently implemented in the previous versions.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context Keep up your great work :)

I said yesterday on Discord I am working on it

TheoRetisch1 commented 4 years ago

Ok awesome thank you! Should I close this request?

MattBDev commented 4 years ago

No it's fine. Let's leave it open until I push the changes. I found a bug in the simplex math I need to fix in addition to re-adding the masks/patterns

TheoRetisch1 commented 4 years ago

I just want to add that it would be pretty cool to also use simplexes in simplexes again. Example: //br rock #simplex[50][50][0][#simplex[30][159:1,159:2,159:3,159:4,159:5]] 20. this allowed a less constant = more natural distribution. If you need an overview of how and for what the simplex command was used, you can find a nice illustrated guide from Mulcho here: https://imgur.com/a/rwVAE

As of build 268, the simplex pattern should work again. It needed some basic changes on how commands are parsed so if any other commands aren't accepted anymore, please let me know.
