I'm experimenting with texture generation so I can begin to implement height map generation/terrain generation. Right now I'm just experimenting with different generating functions. Right now I'm just generating a 256x256 rgb texture when I apply the sin function to the sum of the normalized coordinates I get the following:

<x,y>/|<x.y>|

When I apply sin to the sum of the unnormalized coordinates I get the following:

<x,y>

Is there a way I can hit the whole of the sin domain multiple times while keeping the normalized coordinates so that there is the wave-like texture of the unnormalized version but it retains the smoothness from the normalized coordinates

  • \$\begingroup\$ Did you consider multiplying your sum by some number between 0 and 1 to reduce the frequency of the waves? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 12, 2023 at 12:40
  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes, this was the first thing I tried, but unfortunately it didn't give me the effect I was looking for, it gave me more of the same as the normalized coordinates. @DMGregory \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 12, 2023 at 16:04
  • \$\begingroup\$ Did you try a bigger number? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 12, 2023 at 17:03
  • \$\begingroup\$ I tried a whole range of numbers between from 0..1, things bigger than 1 just made the texture white \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 12, 2023 at 18:24
