Worley noise (also Cell Noise ) is a cellular texture- based function that was introduced by Steven Worley in 1996 .

It is used in computer graphics to simulate textures such as stone or water surfaces.

algorithm

Create random points in space;
the noise function is the distance from the nearest point. ${\ displaystyle F_ {n} (x)}$ ${\ displaystyle x}$ ${\ displaystyle n}$
