FastNoise2 is a modular, node graph based procedural noise generation library written in modern C++17 with SIMD acceleration. It supports Perlin, Simplex, cellular, and fractal noise types with blending, modifiers, and domain warping, all fused into a single SIMD pipeline, plus a visual Node Editor tool and serialization of node trees.

Use cases

• generate terrain heightmaps for a game world
• create procedural textures with layered noise
• generate perlin or simplex noise quickly in C++
• build domain-warped noise for clouds or fluids
• design noise graphs visually and load them in my engine
• generate 2D tiling noise textures
• parallelize noise generation across threads

When to choose

• you need high-performance, SIMD-optimized noise generation in C++
• you want to combine multiple noise types and operators efficiently
• you need 2D/3D/4D noise with fractals and domain warping
• you want a visual node editor to prototype noise setups

When to avoid

• you need noise generation in a language without bindings to FastNoise2
• you only need trivial random noise rather than coherent noise
• you require GPU-based noise generation rather than CPU SIMD
