Take a example stochastic texture (that is, without strong patterns), generate an infinite large texture. Never worry about visible tiling again! Woohoo!
TL;DR of the paper 'High-Performance Procedural Noise using a Histogram-Preserving Blending Operator'
https://rivten.github.io/2018/07/07/tldr-noise-histogram.htmlOriginal paper and stuff:
> We propose a new by-example noise algorithm that takes as input a small example of a stochastic texture and synthesizes an infinite output with the same appearance. It works on any kind of random-phase inputs as well as on many non-random-phase inputs that are stochastic and non-periodic, typically natural textures such as moss, granite, sand, bark, etc. Our algorithm achieves high-quality results comparable to state-of-the-art procedural-noise techniques but is more than 20 times faster.
