Poisson disk/square sampling generator for rendering
I have just submitted onto GitHub small new script – Poisson-like distribution sampling generator suited for various typical rendering scenarios. Unlike other small generators available it supports many sampling patterns – disk, disk with a central tap, square, repeating grid. It … Continue reading
