How to make one-axis tileable simplex noise?

I made a program that uses perlin noise to generate a height map. It worked very good. Later I changed it to use simplex noise. What I want to achieve now is that the left edge fits in the right ...

Zooming in on procedural generated 2D terrain? (LOD)

My question is what methods are there to "zoom in" on a procedurally generated map using Perlin Noise (or Simplex). If I have for example this generated and I wanted to "zoom" into that little red ...

Using Perlin/Simplex noise in a 2d tile game for terrain generation

I've been doing a bunch of research regarding procedural 2d terrain generation and have come to the conclusion that the use of perlin/simplex noise seems to be the way to go for most things. I've ...

Are there any methods for generating rivers on-demand with Perlin/Simplex noise?

I'm aware of many methods for procedurally generating rivers, but they require an entire heightmap beforehand in order to work. For instance, they may require to find a high position on the map and ...

How do I perform interpolation between noise values sampled at a lower resolution?

I'm doing some experimentation with terrain generating using a method similar to that described in this blog post by Markus Persson, where I use 3D simplex noise as a "density" value. Like him, ...

How do I create tileable 3D Perlin/Simplex noise?

I have a library which provides functions for 1/2/3/4-D simplex noise. With that I successfuly created a tileable 2D cloud texture (see How do you generate tileable Perlin noise?). Now I want to ...

Heightmap using Simplex noise with octaves: help with parameters and interpretation

I've found a few pieces of code around, where Java code for Simplex noise (based on this widely quoted paper) was coupled with octaves to get a heightmap. However those classes/snippets are NOT in the ...
