Variables that control the output of the algorithm (e.g., density, color variance).
Modern procedural graphics often bypass polygons entirely using Signed Distance Functions (SDFs). Instead of rendering triangles, a raymarching algorithm casts rays from the camera into a mathematical scene, calculating how close the ray is to an object until it hits a surface. This allows for flawless, mathematical rendering of spheres, fractals, and infinite landscapes. The Future of Procedural Elements
A relatively new, powerful algorithm that creates a "map" that satisfies a set of local constraints. It's often used to generate levels or structures that look designed, rather than purely chaotic, by ensuring pieces fit together properly (e.g., matching edges of tiles).
