Real-time procedural terrain generation through swarm behaviours
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores research in progress on Swarm Intelligence related to Procedural Terrain Generation. Our aim is to develop means to provide useful and real-time terrain deformation using Swarm algorithms. We feel this could prove interesting for enhancing the experience of gameplay in some game genres such as Real Time Strategy (RTS), simulation or even platform games.

GPU Based Generation and Real-Time Rendering of Semi-Procedural Terrain Using Features
Generation and real-time rendering of terrain is a complex and multifaceted problem. Besides the obvious trade-offs between performance and quality, many different generation and rendering solutions exist. Different choices in implementation will result in very different visuals, usability and tools for generation. In this thesis, a fast and intuitive terrain generation method based on sketchin...
متن کاملReal - Time Continuous Level - of - Detail Terrain Rendering With Nested Splitting Space
Real-time visualization of large-scale terrain models requires complex continuous level-of-detail (LOD) schemes to reduce the prohibitively large geometry complexity of natural terrain to an acceptable level while maintaining high image quality. This paper presents new algorithms and data structures to solve this problem. Our solution centers on computing independent per-vertex error bounds, wh...
متن کاملReal-time Multiresolution Rendering for Dynamic Terrain
This paper presents a novel dynamic terrain multiresolution rendering method by utilizing the capabilities of current generation GPUs. Firstly, the terrain depth offset map texture that represents the appropriate offset values is generated through rendering to texture, which is used to deform terrain in vertex shader. Then in order to accurately represent the fine terrain detail created by defo...
متن کاملRepresenting Random Terrain on Resource Limited Devices
Random terrain generation is the procedural creation of a set of data that represents closely a believable landscape. Common techniques of achieving this include the use of fractals and noise. Such techniques usually require a large volume of memory, as the geometry of the terrain needs to be calculated and stored at run time. Given the limited memory available on mobile devices, such as mobile...
متن کاملProcedural Terrain
We produce procedurally generated terrain consisting of geometry and textures. Geometry is created using the GPU at run-time. The textures are precomputed using the CPU and saved to disk for later access. A shader applies textures without the use of UVs to the geometry to create complex and interesting environments that are interactive in real-time.
