Tile Lighting test

Over the past ~two days Iv'e been implementing a tile lighting system much like the one in Terraria. There's still some lighting artifacts (making it look "blocky"), due to lighting falloff against walls.
It is also possible to adjust the falloff that controls how much lighting will be reduced when traversing walls to make the light look as natural as possible as well as preventing light go through thick walls.

Noise Tool "completed"

A couple of hard days work later and it's done! (Well like 98% done anyway).
You can now save and load hierarchies (as xml files) and also spit out a png file if you wish.

Also added a couple of modules I thought was missing, Random (which makes absolutely random noise), LinearGradient (a horizontal/vertical gradient) and Split (takes a range of values and outputs only two values selected by a threshold).

The only thing left really annoying me is that when you load in a hierarchy, all the windows positions get's reset, so you have to drag them back in position.
A undo/redo history would be nice but out of scope for the time being.

Noise Tool part 1

So, basically, I got a bit carried away with LibNoise when I discovered it's capabilities. Using a 3rd party GUI solution called Squid (not released yet, see: http://www.ionstar.org/), I just kept adding features to my tool. It's now completely graphical, you simply drag n drop the modules you want to generate noise with (as opposed to before when I had to make changes to the code to edit the result). Once placed, you can hook up different modules with lines to "chain link" them together to get just the result your looking for. By changing a parameter either by entering a value or dragging a slider for example, the image changes immediately making it straightforward to tweak the result in an intuitive manner.
It's not a completely finished tool, you can't save and load hierarchies or the final image just yet (Won't be hard though), also the lines connecting the modules are drawn underneath the windows which is just a minor annoyance. And some parameters doesn't show up yet in some modules. But all in all, the functionality is there and I'm going to enjoy using this tool for my procedural generation needs in future projects.

Make some Noise!

Recently downloaded LibNoise for .NET and it was surprisingly easy to get started with.
Just had to write a conversion utility to convert the data to a Unity3D texture.

Here are some example screenshots:
