Perlin noise constructor and method(s) use

[eldee]

@Thaumaturge

You say that the function is repeatable, but I never did find a way to get Panda to generate noise with tiling edges. Is there a way to do that?

This is where the table size or the scaling values become most relevant, the tiling or repetitiveness happens when you wrap over the permutation table, so with scale = 1, your noise point must go from 0 to 255.

@Thaumaturge

Does that mean that there’s a built-in way to combine levels of noise? As you can see above, I did it “manually”, but it would be interesting to know whether Panda does in fact have a means of handling it internally!

Yes, you can use StackedPerlinNoise (Panda3D: StackedPerlinNoise3 Class Reference) which do all the dirty work for you You can specify the number of perlin noise to stack, the freqency gain and the amplitude dampening.
