I would like to create a seamless 3D Texture, I have read that it's doable with a 5D noise function but I can't find any implementation and the math is over my head here.

How can I create a 5D noise function to create a seamless 3D texture?

  • What do you mean by 3d texture? – jgallant Apr 09 '16 at 19:43
  • I mean a texture which contains multiple tiles, 64x64 pixels per tile and 8x8 rows / columns so each tile can be mapped to a slice of a cube. – user345234674567 Apr 09 '16 at 20:17
  • OK, I figured, I just wanted to make sure. I have done this with 4D noise, but I have never done this with 5D noise. This is an interesting question. The generation of this data will more than likely take a while. – jgallant Apr 09 '16 at 20:18
  • I wouldn't mind if its 4D noise, I searched and only found that it's doable with 5D noise, it just has to be seamless. – user345234674567 Apr 09 '16 at 20:20
  • Yeah, the 4D noise implementation is to create a seamless 2D texture. I think you might actually have to use 6D noise to make seamless 3D like you are trying to do. I personally cannot visualize how to do this at all.

    Here is the 2D implementation, it might help you... http://www.jgallant.com/procedurally-generating-wrapping-world-maps-in-unity-csharp-part-2/#wrap2

  • Have you considered, how long a 5 dimensional noise would generate? – Bálint Apr 09 '16 at 21:26

    Does this help? http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/23625/41628 – Ferrybig Apr 15 '16 at 16:32
  • @Ferrybig yes, that’s the proper way to do it (but one should use John Calsbeek’s answer rather than the accepted one) – sam hocevar Jan 06 '17 at 13:04
