WebGL Noise
A collection of GLSL procedural noise functions (Perlin, simplex, Worley) for WebGL with no external dependencies.
What is WebGL Noise?
webgl-noise is a library of GLSL procedural noise functions for use in WebGL and OpenGL shaders. It provides implementations of simplex noise, classic Perlin noise, and Worley noise across 2D, 3D, and 4D dimensions, all without requiring external texture data. It solves the problem of generating procedural noise directly on the GPU in a self-contained and portable manner.
Graphics programmers and developers working with WebGL, OpenGL, or OpenGL ES who need procedural noise for shader effects, terrain generation, texture synthesis, or visual simulations.
Developers choose webgl-noise because it offers dependency-free noise functions that work in constrained shader environments (like vertex shaders), are highly portable across GPU platforms, and can efficiently utilize ALU resources alongside texture-heavy rendering pipelines.
