Libnoise ~ makes planetary textures ~ sort of ...

[cyphyr]

Stumbled upon this, could be quite useful in the right hands.

Libnoise

Planetary Texture Image

Complex Planet

Unfortunately its only a set of library's, needs a developer to take it further.

Note: libnoise does not generate images, it only generates coherent-noise values. It is up to the programmer to use these values to generate images.

What do you think?

Have you tried any of these things?

I would only guess that the noise functions are rudimentary to what Matt has already been utilizing inside of his programming.

[Edit - after looking through a little of what this is about, this is very cool stuff.  Thanks.]
