The FastNoise family of libraries are [[MIT License]]d collections of noise generators.
- [FastNoise Legacy](https://github.com/Auburn/FastNoiseLite/tree/FastNoise-Legacy) (original multilingual - deprecated)
- [FastNoiseSIMD](https://github.com/Auburn/FastNoiseSIMD) (intelligent vectorizable in C++ - deprecated)
- [FastNoise2](https://github.com/Auburn/FastNoise2/) (much faster on modern hardware using C++, includes GUI visual flow editor)
- [FastNoiseLite](https://github.com/Auburn/FastNoiseLite) (simple multilingual, with parametric GUI visualizer)

# Notability
FastNoise algorithms are often uses in game development and computer graphics (like Blackmagic [[Fusion (vfx)]]) for generating textures, height maps, and other effects.
