Procedural Terrain

چکیده
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.

Terrain Synthesis By-example
Synthesizing terrain or adding detail to terrains manually is a long and tedious process. With procedural synthesis methods this process is faster but more difficult to control. This paper presents a new technique of terrain synthesis that uses an existing terrain to synthesize new terrain. To do this we use multi-resolution analysis to extract the high-resolution details from existing models a...
متن کاملA Procedural, Minimal Input, Natural Terrain Plug-in for Blender
This paper uses methods of terrain representation, creation and realism described in literature. In particular a combination of terrain synthesis using Fractional Brownian Motion, and erosion procedures is examined, as well as the procedural formation of rivers via squig curves. Other techniques are examined, such as Triangulated Irregular Networks and ridges generation are discarded in terms o...

متن کاملRiverLand: An Efficient Procedural Modeling System for Creating Realistic-Looking Terrains
Generating realistic-looking but interesting terrains quickly is a great challenge. We present RiverLand, an efficient system for terrain synthesis. RiverLand creates a realistic-looking terrain by first generating river networks over the land. Then, the terrain is created to be consistent with the river networks. In this way, the terrains created have a proper drainage basin, an important feat...
متن کاملReal-time procedural terrain generation through swarm behaviours
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.
متن کاملProcedural Reproduction of Terrain Textures with Geographic Data
Surface textures of high resolution and quality, either acquired from aerial or satellite imagery or computed using procedural models, are crucial for photorealistic terrain rendering. Procedural models provide a compact representation and can be evaluated at run-time. In this paper we present an extension to an existing, GPU-friendly procedural texturing model, such that it can be fitted semia...
