Dual Frequency Surfaces

Lower Frequency Surface

Addition of Intermediate Frequency Surface

Addition of High Frequency Surface

Surface/Mesh Structure of the above surfaces

The surface may be sliced into ribbons

A pleated surface is formed by constructing an edge pleat, then sweeping it along two curves

Surfaces consist of figures with various spacings.

The figure spacing may be thought of as a spatial frequency.

By randomly grouping figures at different spatial frequencies, more sophisticated surface textures may be produced.

In general, for lower frequency textures, a Perlin noise function works better as the noise is somewhat grouped.

For higher frequencies, a random function may be used, which represents white noise, like a radio that is out of tune.
