Polynomial method for Procedural Terrain Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
A systematic fractal brownian motion approach is proposed for generating coherent noise, aiming at procedurally generating realistic terrain and textures. Two models are tested and compared to Perlin noise method for two-dimensional height map generation. A fractal analysis is performed in order to compare fractal behaviour of generated data to real terrain coastlines from the point of view of fractal dimension. Performance analysis show that one of the described schemes requires half as many primitive operations than Perlin noise while producing data of equivalent quality.

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 کاملProcedural generation of populations for storytelling
Procedural world generation is often limited to creating worlds devoid of people and any background. Because of this, creating a vibrant, living world is still a problem that requires a skilled designer. In this paper, we present a method that generates a socially connected population in any virtual terrain, using a mixed-initiative simulation of settlements that adapt to the world and to a des...
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 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 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...
