Procedural Content Generation for C++ Game Development

Texture creation

Another prominent example of procedural generation is the creation of textures. Similar to terrain generation, the procedural generation of textures uses noise to create variance. This can then be used to create varying textures. Different patterns and equations are also used to create a more controlled noise that forms recognizable patterns.

Generating textures procedurally like this means that you can potentially have an unlimited number of possible textures without any overhead on storage. From a limited pool of initial resources, endless combinations can be generated, an example of which can be seen in the following image:
