ambient
is a an R package that provides access to the
FastNoise C++ library for generating
noise. As such it provides fast generation of perlin, value, cubic, and worley
noise in 2 and 3 dimensions, as well as simplex and white noise in 2, 3, and 4
dimensions. Further, it provides pattern generators and other utilities that can
be used for modifying and working with noise.
Most of the noise patterns can be generated as fractals as well with support for fbm, billow and rigid-multifractal, and can optionally be pertubed.
There's not much more to it. If you are in need of a noise generator ambient
is your friend, if not you probably shouldn't care.
ambient can be installed from CRAN using install.packages('ambient')
, or you
may get the development version from github using devtools:
# install.packages('devtools') devtools::install_github('thomasp85/ambient')
ambient provides a direct interface to the FastNoise functions by requesting a matrix/array of noise values, with a range of settings for pertubation and fractals:
library(ambient) simplex <- noise_simplex(c(500, 500), pertubation = 'normal', pertubation_amplitude = 40) plot(as.raster(normalise(simplex)))
much more powerful, however, is the tidy interface that allows full control of how the values should be calculated and combined:
library(dplyr) long_grid(x = seq(0, 10, length.out = 1000), y = seq(0, 10, length.out = 1000)) %>% mutate( x1 = x + gen_simplex(x, y) / 2, y1 = y + gen_simplex(x, y) / 2, worley = gen_worley(x, y, value = 'distance', seed = 5), worley_frac = fracture(gen_worley, ridged, octaves = 8, x = x, y = y, value = 'distance', seed = 5), full = blend(normalise(worley), normalise(worley_frac), gen_spheres(x1, y1)) ) %>% plot(full)
