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:

• jQuery 3.1.1
• Spectrum Colorpicker

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)

More examples may be found at http://www.noisegen.io/samples.html.
