We extend the gradient mesh vector graphics primitive with procedural noise functions. Specifically, we couple Perlin, Worley and Gabor noise to the gradient mesh. We allow local parameters controlling the noise functions to be defined at the vertices of the mesh. The parameters are interpolated along with the geometry similarly to how colour is interpolated in an ordinary gradient mesh, allowing for spatially varying noise patterns.These noisy gradient meshes facilitate a sparse representation of high frequency regions along with underlying smooth colour gradients. The meshes are easy to edit and efficient to evaluate on graphics hardware, making them a suitable candidate for inclusion in modern vector graphics authoring tools. We demonstrate the utility of our method on gradient meshes with added noise functions. Additionally, we show that the approach can be used in combination with regular surface meshes where noise functions are used to govern their displacement mapping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
