Tiling noise generator in Processing

Here’s a noise generator made in Processing which creates cloudy-looking noise which tiles! It’s extremely inefficient, but the algorithm looks really neat while it’s working!

Here’s a sample of its output, manually tiled (and scaled) to show that it’s seamless.

Tiled noise

Click to start/pause, and press the M key to toggle the shape it uses to generate the noise (circle or square). When run as an application, it saves the images it creates to the sketch folder.

    It looks like the photo-shop cloud filter…. maybe they are the same……

    Yeah, they do look similar, but I think Photoshop’s noise generator uses Perlin Noise, and doesn’t tile.

    I built this cos I thought these tiling clouds could be useful as building blocks for tiling textures in other tools (like photoshop). I might make some examples and update this, actually. The grayscale is a bit stoic… heh.
