Like Perlin's Simplex Noise but don't like the patent that comes with it? Introducing OpenSimplex Noise! (x-post from /r/proceduralgeneration)

Post Body

"Our game needs 3D noise for terrain generation, particularly cave generation and cliff/arch/overhang generation. [Simplex noise in 3D and higher is patented, so] that leaves us with two options: Take the easier and less-interesting route and deal with the artifacts of Perlin noise, or create something new. So I took the latter route, and developed a new noise algorithm for us to use called OpenSimplex noise."
