What's a Fractal Texture?  

A fractal texture relies on random numbers being applied initially over a large area but which are reduced as the process loops and the areas get smaller. 


    The basic technique is known as the diamond square method.

 

The diamond square takes the corners of a square and averages the colour values, then applies a random variation (up or down) within a starting range.

By this means, the centre and the middle points of at least 2 edges are found.

 

 From

We calculate

When a whole block of squares is done, the process starts again at half the size of the previous run. The values calculated in the previous run then become corners of smaller squares

The random variation is lessened on each pass..
