Rather than hand-crafting every mountain, forest density map, or cloud pattern, developers use <strong>noise functions</strong> — mathematical functions that produce coherent pseudo-random values across 2D, 3D, or 4D coordinate spaces. The right noise library dramatically impacts generation quality, performance, and artistic control.</p>
