Simplex Noise Generator

Creating randomized worlds as well as custom maps or fog pictures has to do with randomization. Simplex Noise Generator is a randomization tool that can be used to either create cool random fog maps/pictures or random worlds, based on interior algorithms and user choices. While to some it may seem to lie a quirky mix of tools and elements, one should admit the fact that in both cases, the functionality given to the user is very important.

This application allows one to mix and match various features used in the application in order to give birth to a unique square-like image filled with fog. It looks like a map, an interesting fog texture that one could find many purposes for. It could be a terrain texture, a profile picture, a background element on a website and so on. Exporting your creation is a breeze too. Simply click on the save button and have your creation exported as a PNG file. Elements you can adjust vary from persistence level to fog density to a number of veins and distribution patterns. You can set colors via two distinct RGB channel cursors.

Random distribution of terrain elements seems to be the other side of this interesting application. While you can control about the same elements as in the case of fog images, the result looks different. Distribution, element persistence and random assignment of these particles all contribute to creating a pixelated map-like figure. The downside is you can't really do much with your creation. No project compatibility or export options means you can't do much with this side of the app's functionality.

Simplex Noise Generator is an application that at first glance seems very interesting. It's filled with functionality but the lack of usefulness turns it into something you'll probably launch once in your life and never have a job for again. It's unfortunate as the functionality it aims to provide is intriguing and could have some very interesting uses, provided there was a better way to integrate your results with other projects.
