waves - z noise crack

¿Algún tutorial o recurso de ruido simple?

Question

Quiero crear un generador de ruido 3D similar a un terreno y, después de investigar un poco, llegué a la conclusión de que Simplex Noise es, con mucho, el mejor tipo de ruido para hacer esto.

Sin embargo, el nombre me parece bastante engañoso, ya que tengo muchos problemas para encontrar recursos sobre el tema y los recursos que encuentro a menudo no están bien escritos.

Básicamente, lo que busco es un buen recurso / tutorial que explique paso a paso cómo funciona el ruido simplex y cómo implementarlo en un programa.

No estoy buscando recursos que expliquen cómo usar una biblioteca o algo así.

Answer 1

Siguiendo una recomendación tutorial, intentaré explicar cómo usar una fuente java existente que crea una sola octava de ruido simplex.

Francamente, considero que toda esta clase es una caja negra con un constructor public SimplexNoise_octave(int seed) y 3 métodos public double noise(double xin, double yin) , public double noise(double xin, double yin, double zin) y public double noise(double x, double y, double z, double w) .

Puede utilizar estos métodos exactamente como lo haría con los equivalentes de ruido perlin.

SimplexNoise_octave(int seed)

Cree 1 SimplexNoise_octave para cada octava que desee, cada una debe tener su propia semilla

public double noise(double xin, double yin)

Llame para obtener el valor de ruido particular para esa octava en esas coordenadas. Nota; las coordenadas deben ser preescaladas (más adelante). Las otras funciones de noise son las mismas pero para dimensiones más altas.

Creando Octavas

Al igual que en el ruido perlin, en general combinarás varias octavas de ruido para crear ruido fractal (que te da características de terreno). Tenga en cuenta que las alturas de terreno en 3D se crean mediante ruido 2D.

Varias octavas se combinan usando las siguientes razones

frequency = 2^i
amplitude = persistence^i

Para cada octava (i) se dividen las coordenadas de entrada por frecuencia y se multiplica el resultado por amplitud; Esto le da un aspecto de terreno. La persistencia se utiliza para afectar la apariencia del terreno, la alta persistencia (hacia 1) proporciona un terreno montañoso rocoso. La baja persistencia (hacia 0) da un terreno plano que varía lentamente. Ver la página de la etiqueta para más detalles.

A continuación se muestra un ejemplo de cómo se podría usar esto:

}
}
public double getNoise(int x, int y){
double result=0;
for(int i=0;i<octaves.length;i++){
//double frequency = Math.pow(2,i);
//double amplitude = Math.pow(persistence,octaves.length-i);
result=result+octaves[i].noise(x/frequencys[i], y/frequencys[i])* amplitudes[i];
}
return result;
}
public double getNoise(int x,int y, int z){
double result=0;
for(int i=0;i<octaves.length;i++){
double frequency = Math.pow(2,i);
double amplitude = Math.pow(persistence,octaves.length-i);
result=result+octaves[i].noise(x/frequency, y/frequency,z/frequency)* amplitude;
}
return result;
}
} 

Esto crea octavas que dan características de tamaño entre 1 y la característica más largestFeature , encontré que esto es útil pero no hay nada especial porque 1 es el tamaño más pequeño y puedes modificarlo. Produce entre -1 y 1, escala según sea necesario.

Uso

Un ejemplo de método principal que usaría esta clase es el siguiente

public static void main(String args[]){
SimplexNoise simplexNoise=new SimplexNoise(100,0.1,5000);
double xStart=0;
double XEnd=500;
double yStart=0;
double yEnd=500;
int xResolution=200;
int yResolution=200;
double[][] result=new double[xResolution][yResolution];
for(int i=0;i<xResolution;i++){
for(int j=0;j<yResolution;j++){
int x=(int)(xStart+i*((XEnd-xStart)/xResolution));
int y=(int)(yStart+j*((yEnd-yStart)/yResolution));
result[i][j]=0.5*(1+simplexNoise.getNoise(x,y));
}
}
ImageWriter.greyWriteImage(result);
}

Este método hace uso de mi propia clase ImageWriter solo para representar la salida en un archivo

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class ImageWriter {
//just convinence methods for debug
public static void greyWriteImage(double[][] data){
//this takes and array of doubles between 0 and 1 and generates a grey scale image from them
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(data.length,data[0].length, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
for (int y = 0; y < data[0].length; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < data.length; x++)
{
if (data[x][y]>1){
data[x][y]=1;
}
if (data[x][y]<0){
data[x][y]=0;
}
Color col=new Color((float)data[x][y],(float)data[x][y],(float)data[x][y]);
image.setRGB(x, y, col.getRGB());
}
}
try {
// retrieve image
File outputfile = new File("saved.png");
outputfile.createNewFile();
ImageIO.write(image, "png", outputfile);
} catch (IOException e) {
//o no! Blank catches are bad
throw new RuntimeException("I didn''t handle this very well");
}
}
}

webstaff.itn.liu.se/~stegu/simplexnoise/simplexnoise.pdf esta es una explicación bastante buena
