noise_blue() for generating blue noise texture based on
Void-and-cluster algorithm.Added a new tidy interface to noise generation, which will be the new recommended way of using ambient. The old array-based constructors will continue to exist as direct interfaces to FastNoise, but the new interface is much more powerful in what you can do. The tidy API consists of
long_grid() constructor that creates a data frame representation of
a 1-4D array at user specified grid-points. This class has a range of
methods for base generics such as as.matrix(), as.array(), as.raster(),
as well as for standard dplyr verbs. The row number encodes the position in
the grid, so that the coordinates can be freely manipulated giving rise to
very customisable permutations.gen_*() version, e.g. gen_perlin(), that
takes coordinates, frequency, and seed and return the noise value.gen_waves(),
that has the same interface as the new noise generators.fracture() function that takes a noise/pattern generator and a fractal
function to create a fractal version of the generator. Further, fbm(),
billow(), and ridges() are provided as equivalent fractal functions to
the ones provided by FastNoise, and a new clamped() fractal function has
been added.trans_affine() function has been added to make linear transformations of
the coordinates, along with helpers to build up the transformation matrix.blend() to help with noise level
manipulation.curl_noise() function that takes a generator and creates curl noise from
it has been added.gradient_noise() in the same vein as curl_noise() has been added for
calculating the gradient of scalar noise fieldsA pkgdown site has been created at https://ambient.data-imaginist.com
