Methods for Random Gradients
Summary
The article surveys three approaches to creating random gradients: heightmaps built with Perlin noise, layered SVG radial gradients, and AI-generated gradients using OpenAI's DALL·E 2. It includes historical context from OpenAI branding, practical implementation details, and prompts for generating dreamlike, floral, and sky-inspired gradients with abundant visual examples. It highlights trade-offs between performance, randomness, and visual variety in gradient design.
