The noise textures used in this post, and the python scripts used to generate the diagrams, can be found on github at https://github.com/Atrix256/Threshold_STBN_FAST At various times over the past year or so I've stumbled on evidence that seemed to show that thresholding FAST noise textures made lower quality blue noise point sets than when thresholding…

The blog post discusses the thresholding of modern blue noise textures, focusing on the differences between FAST and STBN noise textures. While FAST textures generally offer higher quality for spatial and temporal noise, they surprisingly produce lower-quality blue noise point sets compared to STBN when thresholded. The analysis involves examining different blue noise textures and their power spectrums to assess quality under various conditions. Ultimately, the post suggests that adding temporal constraints affects spatial properties and explores possible improvements and trade-offs in thresholding constraints.
