Link text

Just in case anyone is wondering why I claim that the page is mislabeled, the description of the noise types is in the sourced book, and the noise on the web page matches the description of the Value noise more. SiegeLord (talk) 23:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Octaves link is pointing to the wrong place. 83.183.141.239 (talk) 15:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Next time be bold and fix it yourself ;). SiegeLord (talk) 22:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History

Is there any info on who invented this? Did it come before or after Perlin's gradient noise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.35.102.176 (talk) 08:12, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be surprised if this technique arose from multiple sources, since practically speaking it's faster and less analytically complicated. It's the "naive" approach to noise as far as I'm aware. I suppose someone could scour the internet and publications for the earliest documented instance... this paper references "value noise" without any citation (https://www.cs.utah.edu/~aek/research/hwnoise.pdf) and then reference's Lewis's sparse convolution noise as an example, which itself doesn't appear to reference anything (https://ai2-s2-pdfs.s3.amazonaws.com/37d4/295a6fe32b5d89217b8fbc023d8185b0cf50.pdf). Honestly value noise seems obvious (interpolating by some method between regularly spaced, sampled noise values doesn't seem like an invention), but maybe it only seems so in retrospect. 68.63.108.194 (talk) 18:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Verified the link. Made some changes to the title of the link using the original title of the article cited, while retaining that explanation surrounding the confusion of the two terms - DutchTreat (talk) 13:01, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
