I just wanted to say thank you for these tutorials. 

[Jasper Flick]

@flwns: You're welcome!

The noise tutorial is now done. I ended up including textures, Value noise, and Perlin noise.



Noise, being a pseudorandom artist
In this tutorial you will create your own procedural texture, filling it with pseudorandom noise.

[Jasper Flick]

Last month you got noise, this month you get its analytical derivatives! And meshes. And Curl noise.



Noise Derivatives, going with the flow
Create a procedural mesh, using noise to turn it into a terrain. Then compute analytical noise derivatives to define surface normals and create particle flows with Curl noise.

[Jasper Flick]

There's a new tutorial for you to discover! This one has been commissioned by Binpress, so it's published on their website.

Octahedron Sphere
Create an approximation of a sphere by subdividing the faces of an octahedron. This tutorial was commissioned by Binpress.

[BigThink]

Thanks for the tutorials. Will definitely try some of these out later!

[Jasper Flick]

Thanks! Have fun! Think Big!

By the way, I have released yet another tutorial.

Simplex Noise
Discover how to create alternatives for Perlin and Value noise, based on a simplex grid.

[Jasper Flick]

I have started a new series of tutorials, centering around the Marching Squares algorithm. Here's the first one.

Marching Squares
Build an editable 2D voxel grid, then triangulate it with the Marching Squares algorithm.

These noise tutorials are great. Amazing job.

[Jasper Flick]

Thanks! I try fit some useful bits in between all the noise.

Thank you for these tutorials, been learning a lot with them!

I may have found a small error, not sure though.
In the Simplex Noise one, in the part that says:
"...
Then remove the checks for Value noise from TextureCreator, SurfaceCreator, and SurfaceFlow. After taking a noise sample we now always half it.

            NoiseSample sample = …;
            sample = sample * 0.5f;
..."

Maybe it is " sample = sample * 0.5f + 0.5f; ", at least in the TextureCreator.cs?

[Jasper Flick]

Thank you pottering, you are absolutely right! I included adding 0.5 for TextureCreator.

[M3gaMan1ac]

Great tutorials! Big thanks!))

[Jasper Flick]

You can now make your way through the second Marching Squares tutorial!

Marching Squares 2
Add vertex sharing and flexible edge crossings to Marching Squares.

[Jasper Flick]

Another part of the Marching Squares series is available!

Marching Squares 3
Enhance Marching Squares with Hermite data, then reconstruct sharp features and resolve ambiguous cases.

[Jasper Flick]

And here's part four!

Marching Squares 4
Refactor Marching Squares a bit, then add walls to give it some depth.

[Jasper Flick]

I have completed the Marching Squares tutorial series! Here is the last part.

Marching Squares 5
Make Marching Squares more colorful by adding support for multiple materials.

Man, I registered to this forum so I can say thank you so much for your text tutorial! Personally I'm not a fan of video tutorials that seem to be the trend nowadays.

Again thank you so much for your tutorials! 

[Jasper Flick]

You are very welcome!

[Jasper Flick]

Here's a new tutorial! It is the spiritual successor of the old Runner tutorial, and the first one specifically for Unity 5.

Swirly Pipe
Create a prototype racing game where you move through endlessly twisting pipes.

great tutorial! thanks a lot
