Tiled Gradients
Posted: 21 November 2019, Tags: Plotter - TiledDigging through my pile of Glitch projects, I stumbled over an in-progress experiment to show a grid of hatching values. The hatching was simply evenly spaced horizontal lines. Rewinding around the source code revealed a few compelling pieces. Check out the project on Glitch and play with curveDensity
and how Tile
s determine their density
.
The code I rewound to used Math.random()
to generate a density.
I then substituted pure randomness for some Perlin noise which sampled the top-left corner coordinates of the tile to produce a value.
Further directions for exploration:
- selectively combining adjacent tiles
- changing the way the
density
value is drawn in the tile, either by changing drawing direction or distribution
