FastNoise Lite is a highly portable noise generation library offering 2D/3D Perlin, OpenSimplex2, Cellular (Voronoi), Value, and Cubic noise with fractal options and domain warping. It is implemented in many languages (C#, C++, C, Java, JavaScript, Rust, Go, GLSL/HLSL, and more) with a focus on high performance and easy integration.

Use cases

• generate procedural terrain heightmaps for a game
• create perlin or simplex noise textures in a shader
• generate seamless 2D and 3D noise for procedural content
• add fractal noise to a voxel world generator
• sample cellular voronoi noise for stylized visuals
• port consistent noise generation across multiple languages
• generate noise for texture synthesis and material design

When to choose

• you need fast, lightweight noise generation with minimal dependencies
• you want the same noise output across many programming languages
• you need 2D/3D noise with fractals and domain warping out of the box
• you want a permissive MIT-licensed noise library that's easy to integrate

When to avoid

• you need SIMD-optimized performance or complex node-graph noise configurations (use FastNoise2)
• you need 4D or higher-dimensional noise
• you need advanced features like erosion simulation or flow noise
