At this point you're probably excited to try shaders on platforms you feel comfortable with. The following are examples of how to set shaders in some popular frameworks with the same uniforms that we are going to use throughout this book. (In the [GitHub repository for this chapter](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/thebookofshaders/tree/master/04), you'll find the full source code for these three frameworks.)
**Note**: In case you don't want to try shaders on the following frameworks, but you want to work outside a browser, you can download and compile [glslViewer](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslViewer). This MacOS and RaspberryPi program runs directly from terminal and is especially designed to execute the examples in this book.
**Note 1**: In case you don't want to try shaders on the following frameworks, but you want to work outside a browser, you can download and compile [glslViewer](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslViewer). This MacOS and RaspberryPi program runs directly from terminal and is especially designed to execute the examples in this book.
**Note 2**: If you just want to display Shaders using WebGL and you don't care about the frameworks arround it, you can use [glslCanvas](https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslCanvas) that exactly do that. This web tool was designed for this book but end up been so usefull that I use it all the time for different projects.

## Noise
Break time! We have been playing with all this random functions that looks like TV white noise, our head is still spinning around thinking on shaders, and our eyes are tired. Time to get out side and walk!

We feel the air in our face, the sun in our nose and chicks. The world is such a vivid and rich places. Colors, textures, sounds. While we walk we can avoid notice the surface of the roads, rocks, trees and clouds. Suddenly all seams random. But definitely not the type of random we were making. The real world is such a rich place. How we can approximate to this level of variety computationally?

We are on the same path of thoughts that Ken Perlin's walk through on 1982 when he was commissioned with the job of generating "more realistic" textures for a new disney movie call "Tron". In response to that he came up with an elegant *oscar winner* noise algorithm.

## 2D Noise
Now that we understand how noise is made in one demotion, is time to port it to two dimensions. Check how on the following code the interpolation (line 29) is made between the for corners of a square (lines 22-25).

## Using 2D Noise to rotate the space
As we saw, noise was designed to give a natural *je ne sais quoi* to digital textures, and could be use to make convincing generative textures. Lets refresh some of the previous knowledge and then jump forward learning how to mix all the knowledge we have learn so far.
