Noiser

Noiser is a remarkable software application for creating textures by using various image generating algorithms and 3D noise parameters. It is designed to offer 3D artists the ability to create natural-looking textures by dynamically rendering images instead of using precomputed static pixel bitmaps.

The application comes with a graphical wxWidgets front end to the noise library that allows users to compose a render tree from different types of noise, such as Perlin-, Ridged multi-fractal or Billow. By right-clicking on the module setup, users can add, remove and nest the modules of their choice.

The software offers a user-friendly interface that allows users to select one of the generator, transformer, modifier or combiner modules first, followed by modifying all parameters to the values of their choice. The color values of the image are taken from a gradient that users can specify the red, green, blue and transparency values at specific control points. Users can double-click an entry of the control point list to change the color values.

Moreover, the software allows users to set the output surface to either be planar, cylindrical or spherical. The application also enables users to create normal maps or terrain height field files for any of the generated 3D noise textures, which can be saved for further use.

Overall, Noiser is a fantastic software application that enables users to create stunning textures and images without any difficulties. Its simplicity and ease of use make it a great choice for any 3D artist looking for a reliable solution to creating natural-looking textures.
