Procedural Landscape Generation
Procedural Methods University Project
This project focuses on creating a landscape using a series of different techniques in procedural generation within a DirectX11 framework that we were given. The techniques that this project uses are the following:
-
Waves using superimposing wave equations
-
Wave equations for terrain generation
-
Perlin noise with three octaves for terrain generation
-
Worley noise for terrain generation
-
Voronoi diagrams to section off the terrain and randomise wether Perlin noise or Worley noise is used to generate each section
-
Fault lines
-
Procedural texture generation using Perlin noise for the grass, rocks and sand in the terrain. The colour of the textures can be changed in real-time.
There are some improvements that I would make to this project in the future such as adding the ability to export the final heightmap as a png image so that it can be imported into engines. This way the program could be used as a map generation tool. I would also add fractals to the terrain and expand the Voronoi system that the program has to add the ability of sectioning off the terrain into different biomes.
