Noise functions are fundamental tools for generating textures, patterns, and simulations. In this session, we’ll explore the diverse range of noise functions available in FUSE and demonstrate how they can be utilized to enhance complexity and detail in your projects. From understanding the basics to mastering advanced techniques, this workshop will equip you with the skills to leverage noise functions creatively in your visual programming endeavours.
Course Outline
During this workshop, participants will:
- Explore the concept of randomness and its application in generating procedural textures.
- Understand lattice noises and learn techniques to manipulate them for desired effects.
- Learn about value noise, gradient noise, and simplex noise.
- Dive into cellular noises, also known as Worley noise, and understand their applications.
- Gain insights into derivatives and their significance in noise functions.
- Implement Fractal Brownian Motion (FBM) for generating complex textures.
- Understand basic implementation, octaves, gain, and lacunarity.
- Create custom FBM variations using derivatives for added flexibility.
- Experiment with custom noises like wave noise, shard noise, and Gabor noise.
- Explore domain warping techniques to distort noise patterns for unique visual effects.
