Hi guys,<br>I would like to research about procedural textures but I don't find a clear documentation that makes me grow from the simple Perlin noise theory:<br><a href="http://webstaff.itn.liu.se/~stegu/TNM022-2005/perlinnoiselinks/perlin-noise-math-faq.html">http://webstaff.itn.liu.se/~stegu/TNM022-2005/perlinnoiselinks/perlin-noise-math-faq.html</a><br>
<br>I've entered #blendercoders but it seems that I don't asked on the right time. You know how coders are,... one guy directly suggested to me to copy their code. Here is one extract of the chat:<br><br><div style="margin-left:40px" class="linestyle2 colourline">
<span class="timestamp">[18:09] </span><span><<span class="hyperlink-whois">genete</span>> Hi! I Synfig (<a target="_blank" href="http://synfig.org/">http://synfig.org</a>)

Could you please give me some initial advice on this?</span></div><div style="margin-left:40px" class="linestyle1 colourline"><span class="timestamp">[18:09] </span><span><<span class="hyperlink-whois">genete</span>> I found this on your site: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-233/procedural-textures/">http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-233/procedural-textures/</a></span></div>

<span class="timestamp">[18:11] </span><span><</span><span style="color:rgb(46,107,153)"><span class="hyperlink-whois">kaito</span></span><span>> then you can just copy all our code :)</span></div><div style="margin-left:40px" class="linestyle2 colourline">
<span class="timestamp">[18:11] </span><span><<span class="hyperlink-whois">genete</span>> he he, better I prefer to _understand_ what I copy first ^__^</span></div><div style="margin-left:40px" class="linestyle1 colourline">
<span class="timestamp">[18:11] </span><span><</span><span style="color:rgb(46,107,153)"><span class="hyperlink-whois">kaito</span></span><span>> well you put in vectors and you get back values!<br>...</span><br></div>
<br>So it would be great if you know someone who can enlight me about procedural textures and redirect me to articles or documentation (even printed or electronic books) to learn about the different techniques already in use to create procedural textures.<br>
<br>Thanks cheers!<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Carlos<br><a href="http://synfig.org" target="_blank">http://synfig.org</a><br><br>
