What is 'Perlin Noise Manipulation' application ?

This application allows you to interact with a very fun algorithm used to generate :

  • textures for the film Tron
  • world maps in some video games like Minecraft
  • And so on…

You can find more details here : http://www.noisemachine.com/talk1/index.html

How it can be used ?

Go on http://librallu.shinyapps.io/someNoise/

You just need to play with the user interface, move some parameters to see what changes on the results.

I think this can be a very usefull app for observating what are the parameters that gives the better results.
