I want to make a noise background. Do you have any recommendation for texture generators? I want to input color, noise density and the tile size and get a png image.

This is an example of such generator, but I want to try others:

First of all, what server-side language you need? – Aurelio De Rosa Nov 7 '11 at 20:25
Python, but why does it matter? – grigy Nov 8 '11 at 10:43
Because you can do this also with server-side language. So if it was your goal, it matters. – Aurelio De Rosa Nov 8 '11 at 11:09
When you say "noise", what do you mean? White noise, Perlin noise, simplex noise, something else? – Peter Taylor Nov 8 '11 at 15:06
By noise I mean rough, in contrast to solid. – grigy Nov 8 '11 at 20:13

If you don't want to create a scripted noise generator, this one looks interesting: http://www.patternify.com/

If you want a scripted noise generator, check this post: http://brunogirin.blogspot.com/2009/09/making-noise-with-imagemagick.html

ImageMagic is a tool that is already installed in many servers and can be used trough many programming languages.

Patternify looks interesting, though not sure if I can create the noise I want with it. – grigy Nov 8 '11 at 10:47

I don't know of any generators, but this is easily achieved in a graphics program like Photoshop or GIMP.

  1. Create an image at your required tile size.
  2. Generate some random noise.
  3. Use a colorise function and/or hue/brightness editor to make it the color you like.
  4. Reduce contrast to make it more subtle.

I want to make such a tile that borders and a pattern are not visible and after replication in 2D. – grigy Nov 8 '11 at 10:46
@grigy if you generate random noise then there is no "pattern" to it and you will not see any joins in the tiles. I'd recommend using at least a 100x100 tile. – DisgruntledGoat Nov 8 '11 at 12:42
