-# [Project 1: Noise](https://github.com/CIS700-Procedural-Graphics/Project1-Noise)
+# Texture Generation for Final Project
 
-## Objective
 
-Get comfortable with using three.js and its shader support and generate an interesting 3D, continuous surface using a multi-octave noise algorithm.
+### Milestone-2
 
-## Getting Started
+Finally we have the server thanks to Austin!! We haven't merged our code, so it is not yet deployed. The texture does not become more defined as you go closer as I have hardcoded the number of octaves. I will be changing them based on the viewer distance to change the levels of detail.
 
-1. [Install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). Node.js is a JavaScript runtime. It basically allows you to run JavaScript when not in a browser. For our purposes, this is not necessary. The important part is that with it comes `npm`, the Node Package Manager. This allows us to easily declare and install external dependencies such as [three.js](https://threejs.org/), [dat.GUI](https://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#1--Basic-Usage), and [glMatrix](http://glmatrix.net/). Some other packages we'll be using make it significantly easier to develop your code and create modules for better code reuse and clarity. These tools make it _signficantly_ easier to write code in multiple `.js` files without globally defining everything.

-2. Fork and clone [this repository](https://github.com/CIS700-Procedural-Graphics/Project1-Noise).
+- `shaders/sinenoise-frag.glsl` fragment shader is an accidental marble texture that I did not intend to make.
 
-3. In the root directory of your project, run `npm install`. This will download all of those dependencies.
+    I found articles on warping noise functions with other noise functions while looking up Voronoi diagrams. I thought I could use the Ridged noise with just sine functions to get cool streams and rivers. [cegaton](https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/45892/is-it-possible-to-distort-a-voronoi-texture-like-the-wave-textures-distortion-sl) does it using voronoise.
 
-4. Do either of the following (but I highly recommend the first one for reasons I will explain later).
+    So I tried it, and It looks more like marble than rivers. I don't think it will work for this project.
 
-    a. Run `npm start` and then go to `localhost:7000` in your web browser
+    I am still understanding voronoise and how to integrate it to the texture I already have.
 
-    b. Run `npm run build` and then go open `index.html` in your web browser
+![](images/sinenoise.gif)
 
-    You should hopefully see the framework code with a 3D cube at the center of the screen!

+### Milestone-1
 
-## Developing Your Code
-All of the JavaScript code is living inside the `src` directory. The main file that gets executed when you load the page as you may have guessed is `main.js`. Here, you can make any changes you want, import functions from other files, etc. The reason that I highly suggest you build your project with `npm start` is that doing so will start a process that watches for any changes you make to your code. If it detects anything, it'll automagically rebuild your project and then refresh your browser window for you. Wow. That's cool. If you do it the other way, you'll need to run `npm build` and then refresh your page every time you want to test something.
+`mountain-frag.glsl` fragment shader contains the shader that textures the mountain. Value Noise algorithm is used as the noise generator. It is a slightly modified version (the noise function and the matrices are different) of what IQ shows [here](http://www.iquilezles.org/www/articles/morenoise/morenoise.htm). The derivatives of noise are used to simulate erosion effects. It still needs some work.
 
-## Publishing Your Code
-We highly suggest that you put your code on GitHub. One of the reasons we chose to make this course using JavaScript is that the Web is highly accessible and making your awesome work public and visible can be a huge benefit when you're looking to score a job or internship. To aid you in this process, running `npm run deploy` will automatically build your project and push it to `gh-pages` where it will be visible at `username.github.io/repo-name`.
+`mountain-vert.glsl` vertex shader uses Ridged Value Noise to model mountains. This is *not* the terrain we will be using for the final version. It's used only for testing the texture. The terrain part (using Diamond Square algorithm) is being done by [Rudraksha](https://github.com/rudraksha20).
 
-## What is Actually Happening?
-You can skip this part if you really want, but I highly suggest you read it.
 
-### npm install
-`npm install` will install all dependencies into a folder called `node_modules`. That's about it.
+#### GUI Controls
+- Colors (Red, Green, Blue), and (Red1, Green1, Blue1), can be used to set the colors of layers based on height, which is useful for visualizing the noise output.
+- NoiseType demos 3 variations of value noise I experimented with. This can only be used with Preset1 off.
+    1. Value Noise.
+    2. Absolute Value Noise.
+    3. Ridged Value Noise.  
+- Increasing the Speed will animate the noise (and erosion effects with Preset1). Although increasing it too much will increase the frequency too much, which is not what the static texture looks like.
+- Preset1 will show the mountain texture that I think looks good. The erosion effect needs some fine-tuning. Uses Value Noise no matter what is selected
+- Terrain will toggle the geometry between Terrain and Sphere.
+- Preset2 is the new marble shader done with sine of ridged value noise.
 
-### package.json
+### [Demo](https://rms13.github.io/Project1-Noise/)
 
-This is the important file that `npm` looks at. In it, you can see the commands it's using for the `start`, `build`, and `deploy` scripts mentioned above. You can also see all of the dependencies the project requires. I will briefly go through what each of these is.
- - dat-gui: Gives us a nice and simple GUI for modifying variables in our program
-
- - gl-matrix: Useful library for linear algebra, much like glm
-
- - stats-js: Gives us a nice graph for timing things. We use it to report how long it takes to render each frame
-
- - three: Three.js is the main library we're using to draw stuff
-
- - three-orbit-controls: Handles mouse / touchscreen camera controls
-
- - babel-core, babel-loader, babel-preset-es2015: JavaScript is a a really fast moving language. It is constantly, constantly changing. Unfortunately, web browsers don't keep up nearly as quickly. Babel does the job of converting your code to a form that current browsers support. This allows us to use newer JavaScript features such as classes and imports without worrying about compatibility.
-
- - gh-pages-deploy: This is the library that automates publishing your code to Github
-
- - webpack: Webpack serves the role of packaging your project into a single file. Browsers don't actually support "importing" from other files, so without Webpack, to access data and functions in other files we would need to globally define EVERYTHING. This is an extremely bad idea. Webpack lets us use imports and develop code in separate files. Running `npm build` or `npm start` is what bundles all of your code together.
-
-- webpack-dev-server: This is an extremely useful tool for development. It essentially creates a file watcher and rebuilds your project whenever you make changes. It also injects code into your page that gets notified when these changes occur so it can automatically refresh your page.
-
- - webpack-glsl-loader: Webpack does much more than just JavaScript. We can use it to load glsl, css, images, etc. For whatever you want to import, somebody has probably made a webpack loader for it.
-
-### webpack.config.js
-
-This is the configuration file in webpack. The most important part is `entry` and `output`. These define the input and output for webpack. It will start from `entry`, explore all dependencies, and package them all into `output`. Here, the `output` is `bundle.js`. If you look in `index.html`, you can see that the page is loading `bundle.js`, not `main.js`.
-
-The other sections are just configuration settings for `webpack-dev-server` and setup for loading different types of files.
-
-## Setting up a shader
-
-Using the provided framework code, create a new three.js material which references a vertex and fragment shader. Look at the adamMaterial for reference. It should reference at least one uniform variable (you'll need a time variable to animate your mesh later on).
-
-Create [an icosahedron](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html#Reference/Geometries/IcosahedronBufferGeometry), instead of the default cube geometry provided in the scene. Test your shader setup by applying the material to the icosahedron and color the mesh in the fragment shader using the normals' XYZ components as RGB.
-
-Note that three.js automatically injects several uniform and attribute variables into your shaders by default; they are listed in the [documentation](https://threejs.org/docs/api/renderers/webgl/WebGLProgram.html) for three.js's WebGLProgram class.
-
-## Noise Generation
-
-In the shader, write a 3D multi-octave lattice-value noise function that takes three input parameters and generates output in a controlled range, say [0,1] or [-1, 1]. This will require the following steps. 
-
-1. Write several (for however many octaves of noise you want) basic pseudo-random 3D noise functions (the hash-like functions we discussed in class). It's fine to reference one from the slides or elsewhere on the Internet. Again, this should just be a set of math operations, often using large prime numbers to random-looking output from three input parameters.
-
-2. Write an interpolation function. Lerp is fine, but for better results, we suggest cosine interpolation.
-
-3. (Optional) Write a smoothing function that will average the results of the noise value at some (x, y, z) with neighboring values, that is (x+-1, y+-1, z+-1).
-
-4. Write an 'interpolate noise' function that takes some (x, y, z) point as input and produces a noise value for that point by interpolating the surrounding lattice values (for 3D, this means the surrounding eight 'corner' points). Use your interpolation function and pseudo-random noise generator to accomplish this.
-
-5. Write a multi-octave noise generation function that sums multiple noise functions together, with each subsequent noise function increasing in frequency and decreasing in amplitude. You should use the interpolate noise function you wrote previously to accomplish this, as it generates a single octave of noise. The slides contain pseudocode for writing your multi-octave noise function.
-
-
-## Noise Application
-
-View your noise in action by applying it as a displacement on the surface of your icosahedron, giving your icosahedron a bumpy, cloud-like appearance. Simply take the noise value as a height, and offset the vertices along the icosahedron's surface normals. You are, of course, free to alter the way your noise perturbs your icosahedron's surface as you see fit; we are simply recommending an easy way to visualize your noise. You could even apply a couple of different noise functions to perturb your surface to make it even less spherical.
-
-In order to animate the vertex displacement, use time as the third dimension or as some offset to the (x, y, z) input to the noise function. Pass the current time since start of program as a uniform to the shaders.
-
-For both visual impact and debugging help, also apply color to your geometry using the noise value at each point. There are several ways to do this. For example, you might use the noise value to create UV coordinates to read from a texture (say, a simple gradient image), or just compute the color by hand by lerping between values.
-
-## Interactivity
-
-Using dat.GUI and the examples provided in the reference code, make some aspect of your demo an interactive variable. For example, you could add a slider to adjust the strength or scale of the noise, change the number of noise octaves, etc.
-
-## For the overachievers (extra credit)
-
-- More interactivity (easy): pretty self-explanatory. Make more aspects of your demo interactive by adding more controlable variables in the GUI.
-
-- Custom mesh (easy): Figure out how to import a custom mesh rather than using an icosahedron for a fancy-shaped cloud.
-
-- Mouse interactivity (medium): Find out how to get the current mouse position in your scene and use it to deform your cloud, such that users can deform the cloud with their cursor.
-
-- Music (hard): Figure out a way to use music to drive your noise animation in some way, such that your noise cloud appears to dance.
