Development Dependencies

Ubuntu 22.04:

cargo install trunk

Browser:

trunk serve --open

Noise Function Export

Completed noise graphs may be exported (right-click on any node). The output file is .ron format and may be deserialized for use in your programs.

See noise_expr

Once deserialized into an Expr instance you may replace any decimal or integer values using their name and the Expr::set_f64 and Expr::set_u32 functions. Note that node names do not have to be unique and that all nodes sharing the provided name will be updated. The Expr::noise function may be used to retrieve a Noise-rs NoiseFn implementation.

See the example for more details:

cargo run --example read_file --package noise_expr
