Noise Map Generator – Tileable Procedural Noise Texture Creator – Unreal Engine
Noise Map Generator is a lightweight Unreal Engine editor plugin that allows you to generate tileable procedural noise textures directly inside the engine, no external tools required.
Supports Perlin, Worley, Ridged FBM, RGB octave packing, live preview, adjustable parameters, and instant asset baking. Fast, simple, free.
Perfect for materials, VFX, environment masking, landscapes, decals, stylized effects, shader experiments, dithering textures, randomization masks, and more.
Everything you generate is 100% seamless, fully deterministic through seed control, and saved directly as a Texture2D asset.
How It Works:
– Open the Plugin Window
In the Unreal Editor, go to the top menu and select:
Window → Noise Map Generator
This will open the plugin’s interface.
– Adjust Your Noise Settings
Configure resolution, algorithm, octaves, frequency, gain, normalization, and output mode.
All changes can be previewed instantly.
– Generate a Preview
Click “Generate Preview” to update the live preview panel with your current settings.
– Bake & Save the Texture
Click “Bake & Save” to generate a seamless noise texture and automatically save it as a Texture2D asset in your chosen /Game/… folder.
The Content Browser will automatically focus on the output location.
– Exit the Tool
Use the “Quit” button to close the Noise Map Generator window at any time.

Core Features:
– Tileable Perlin Noise (4D Torus Mapping)
Smooth, high-quality Perlin
Toggle FBM mode for layered fractal detail
Adjustable Octaves, Frequency, Lacunarity, Gain
Fully seamless in both X/Y
– Ridged FBM Noise
Creates sharp ridges, peaks, veins
Great for terrain, stylized detail maps, clouds
Worley (Cellular) Noise:
Procedural cellular patterns
Useful for cracks, stone, organic surfaces
RGB Octave Splitting Mode:
Pack 3 octaves of noise into RGB channels:
R = Octave 0
G = Octave 1
B = Octave 2
Useful for:
Mask variation
Multi-layer material blending
Stylized patterns
Height/roughness/metallic multi-maps
Works with any selected algorithm (Perlin, Ridged, Worley).
Features:
One-click seamless noise baking
Configurable noise controls
Editor-only, content-pipeline friendly
Code Modules:
NoiseMapGenerator – Editor
Number of Blueprints: 0
Number of C++ Classes: 3
Network Replicated: No
Supported Development Platforms:
Windows: Yes
Mac: Yes
Supported Target Build Platforms:
The plugin is editor-only and bakes standard textures.
Generated textures can be used in projects targeting any Unreal-supported platform (Windows, consoles, etc.), since they behave like normal UTexture2D assets at runtime.
Supported Unreal Engine Versions: 5.2 – 5.7
Important/Additional Notes: Editor-only plugin; does not add any runtime cost to your game.
The higher the resolution, the longer it take. Expect few seconds to bake.
