Terrain Generator

Made in my spare time after graduating, Terrain Generator is being made in Unity 5 and written in C#. It will allow the user to create large heightmaps by combining multiple terrain generation algorithms, including Fractal Noise, Worley Noise and an interesting hill-generation algorithm I found that uses overlapping parabolas.

The program generates textures that are then fed into a shader that tesselates a plane and displaces it based on the provided height- and normal-maps.

These algorithms can be combined and modified in various ways, including limiting modifications based on certain conditions. For example, the user can add a small amount of Perlin Noise to the topmost regions of some Worley noise to remove the uniformity of the peaks, and then apply a smoothing algorithm to the same region so that they aren't quite so sharp.

The video (left) shows some examples of how these algorithms can be combined to create interesting terrains, and the provided images show the final results of different combinations.
