A virtual landscape generated using Perlin noise. Perlin noise is a procedural texture primitive, a type of gradient noise used by visual effects artists to increase the appearance of realism in computer graphics. The function has a pseudo-random appearance, yet all of its visual details are the same size. This property allows it to be readily ...
An artifact of some implementations of this noise is that the returned value at the lattice points is 0. Unlike the value noise, gradient noise has more energy in the high frequencies. The first known implementation of a gradient noise function was Perlin noise, credited to Ken Perlin, who published the description of it in 1985.
Simplex noise. Simplex noise is the result of an n-dimensional noise function comparable to Perlin noise ("classic" noise) but with fewer directional artifacts, in higher dimensions, and a lower computational overhead. Ken Perlin designed the algorithm in 2001 [1] to address the limitations of his classic noise function, especially in higher ...
OpenSimplex noise is an n-dimensional (up to 4D) gradient noise function that was developed in order to overcome the patent-related issues surrounding simplex noise, while likewise avoiding the visually-significant directional artifacts characteristic of Perlin noise. The algorithm shares numerous similarities with simplex noise, but has two ...
Perlin noise is the earliest form of lattice noise, which has become very popular in computer graphics. Perlin Noise is not suited for simulation because it is not divergence-free. Noises based on lattices, such as simulation noise and Perlin noise, are often calculated at different frequencies and summed together to form band-limited fractal ...
It does not use the same noise generation technique that Perlin invented. There seems to be some confusion over whether "Perlin Noise" refers to the specific noise generation algorithm that Perlin invented or to noise-based textures in general which Perlin's work popularized.--Vorpy 21:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Noise in computer graphics refers to various pseudo-random functions used to create textures, including: Gradient noise, created by interpolation of a lattice of pseudorandom gradients Perlin noise, a type of gradient noise developed in 1983; Simplex noise, a method for constructing an n-dimensional noise function comparable to Perlin noise
