Well in this post I hope to further bedazzle you by actually using that noise function– and even some of my own code. […]

As a previous post pointed out, I’ve been working my way through “Texturing and Modeling: A Procedural Approach” and it’s blowing my dang mind. For instance, did you know that Scorched Earth is […]
MoreIn my previous post, I described a process for generating terrain on a spherical mesh. As the screenshot showed, the algorithm worked pretty well to give you a lumpy looking planet or asteroid. But– what if you want it to look like Earth? Green continents, blue water? You know the Earth I’m talking about. Well here’s […]

One of the first procedural textures it studies is a brick texture. The book assumes you’re using RenderMan, but Unity’s surface shaders are actually very similar […]
