This release contains a new noise engine, ModifiedMultifractal, along with five new noise functions for use with all Perlin noise engine variants. It also contains a large number of new math functions to apply to the noise, a higher resolution 3D preview, a Torus shaped mesh output option, and Torus UV mapped textures which by definition will always tile. Also available is a separate 'API' version that allows the use of planetGenesis as a plugin for other Java software.
This release includes GUI productivity enhancements, new noises including a faster Worley noise, and a new function called Range. It also includes a new component type called PostProcessing, and the ability to output in SGI 16 greyscale format.
The Noise Menu has been sub-divided into
differrent noise types. Worley noises now have a
new distance metric, QuasiEuclidean. There's a new
Worley noise, BiasedWorley. LinearSandDunes is a
new noise that creates linear sand dunes. Three
new Combiners, WarpX, WarpY, and WarpZ, have been
added. These take the value generated by the left
hand side noise and add it to either the X, Y, or
Z co-ordinate before feeding the co-ordinates to
the right hand side noise.
This release introduces three new combiners: SetX, SetY, and SetZ, which replace one dimension with noise. It also has some efficiency improvements in the Perlin and Worley based noise algorithms, and a bugfix for random seed values.
