Synopsis
The focus of this project was exploring the use of procedural generation to make realistic terrain of a high quality for use in games. The marching cubes algorithm was used to allow the creation of terrains with features that typically occur in nature such as overhangs and caves.
Erosion algorithms were investigated to simulate real life erosion/weathering processes in order to produce a more realistic result. The resulting application allows for the random generation of a multitude of unique terrains.
TerraGenerator
This project explores the use of procedural generation of terrains for use in games.
Motivation
After seeing some of the high quality, realistic worlds being created for games nowadays, I wanted to see if I could produce something close to that standard with procedural generation.
