Understanding Simple Perlin Noise - Generating Islands

The colors ended up a little wonky, but this is a quick look at using Perlin Noise to simulate elevation and create your own islands! If you wanted to expand on this project, there is a lot you can do, for example...

- Use another layer of Perlin Noise to add clouds to the islands
- Create different biomes within the same elevation level
- Restrict the island generation to within a circle so that it looks more realistic

I hope you learned something new and thank you so much for watching!!

Short, sweet and straight to the point, thank you!

I am starting to think more and more that god just made a quick land-perlin noise generator and called it the world

Thank you for the video!, now i can understand the logic how perlin noise works!

Loved this tutorial, Ed. (I am a fan of all your work.) In this example, if you worked down from larger to smaller values of n say, going from 0.85, to 0.7 to 0.6 to 0.5, then elif's would work. And that makes the code marginally more efficient.

this isn't really understanding perlin noise, more just using the fractal noise function in processing... I still have no idea what happens behind the scenes because I can't find a video or article that explains it in understandable language, without any strange math jargon lol

i've this week started exploring Processing. I have a reasonable amount of Python experience, & much less Java, so i'm torn at this stage whether to use Python or not as I suspect that Processing is much more 'native' feeling in Java (in terms of speed, reliability etc ...).
As a Python processing user, how have you found it, & have you had much opportunity to compare & contrast with the Java implementation?
Thanks for this video. I am keen to develop some generative video ideas exploring geography / cartography etc ... so a great starting point ...

Yes, but how do i create the noise function?

[ciaranbladezero]

this looks so good with i could try it sadly im getting an error everytime i try to install processing using pip

[filiphedman]

I don't get how you can use these non existent functions and objects in python without even importing anything?

[particleartsstudios]

Wow I look up a random code and i always see Processing! So strange

My issue is trying to get the island surrounded by water, and not have any random pieces of land on the edge of the map. Its disorienting to the player to be walking on the land and then suddenly come to the edge of a cut off map. Much better if the borders were way out at sea.

Надеялся увидеть как сделать острова как на превью, но был обманут!!
