CGEmpire, a new forum I’ve been reading, posted a challenge to code a procedural texture generator. After seeing some of the examples in the challenge thread it looked interesting enough to have a go at.
I’ve created a DirectX app with a choice between three different texture generation methods. The first two are very simple, random and linear. Random selects a colour for each x,y pixel randomly and as you would expect is pretty much random noise. Linear draws 5 pixel wide alternating white/black bars, again nothing worth showing.
The third creates a cellular texture. This is my first attempt at generating a Cellular texture and aside from been extremely inefficient in the nearest coord calculation (brute force 
) the results are quite pleasing.
I’m going to try a few variations on the default cellular algorithm and will post any that are worth seeing, I’ll probably also add a few more texture generators based on other methods such as Perlin noise etc.
Anyhow, heres a screenshot of the first results.
The Texture Generator Sample App is available for download and includes a few generators not shown in the screenshots. I think the best looking one is the Inverse Cellular 
I’ll upload the final source code later on, too busy adding to it at the moment
EDIT:
Source code is now available for anyone that may be interested.
Forum Link updated, thanks Fabricator.
hi!
i found your site talking about your texturegen. sadly the forum of the compo isnt reachable for me and so i cant take a look to some examples as you wrote.
do you still have some examples and other stuff to learn from? you could ZIP/RAR the stuff and send me, if you can. would be very great! thanks in advance.
