Throwing Things

Butler, Sean

Abstract

Perlin noise is very useful. Its also complicated and for some of us opaque. A multilayered, random-ish waveform, Perlin and other noise systems can be put to use making Waves, Islands, Caves etc.

Noise systems generate these structures easily because they produce a repeating output that is never quite the same. Variations in the output are a similar scale and can have a distinctive shape, allowing us to use it as a source for hills or islands etc which are created by the same geological processes.
