Procedural Landmass Generation

This is an infinite 3D terrain generator created using Unity. I learned how to create this project from Sebastian Lague's wonderful YouTube series on Procedural Landmass Generation. The generator uses Perlin noise to generate a height map that gets applied to vertices on a mesh.

Features

• Adjustable parameters for:
  • octaves: each level of Perlin noise, layered on top of each other for finer and finer details
  • lacunarity: controls the frequency of each octave
  • persistence: controls the amplitude of each octave
• Adjustable settings for terrain colours
• Varying levels of detail for different chunks based on their distance from the player
• Falloff map mode for creating island-style terrain
• Flatshading for a more low-poly style

Next Steps

• Create custom shaders
• Improve the FPS controller
• Create in-game controls for adjusting the terrain parameters and colours
