How it's done

This is my take on voxilized clouds, it utilizes perlin noise to get that natural effect.

1. Platform Initialization:

   • Provided a cube prefab set a various parameters like resolution, Perlin noise scale and minimum cube size

2. Update Method:

   • Update method continuously calls methods

   • First it clears existing cubes to prepare for regeneration

   • Then it generates a new platform

3. Cube Generation:

   • Script uses nested loops to iterate through positions on platform

   • For each position, it calculates the cube's position (xPos, yPox) and determins its height (yPos) using perlin noise

   • Heigh is influenced by a time-dependent Perlin noise function, resulting in a dynamic and changing landscape

4. Conditional Cube Instantiation:

   • It checks if calculated cube size is above a minimum threshold

   • If true, it instantiates a cube at calculated position, adjusting its scale based on Perlin noise

   • Scale also dynamically changes over time, creating a visually interesting effect

5. Dynamic Scaling:

   • Cubes undergo dynamic scaling, smoothly transitioning between a minimum size and the Perlin-based size over time

   • This dynamic scaling adds variation and motion to the platform

6. Time-Dependent Transformations:

   • The script utilizes 'Time.time' to introduce time-dependent changes in Perlin noise and dynamic scaling

   • As a result, the platform continually evolves, making it visually appealing and dynamic

In summary, the CubePlatformGenerator script utilizes Perlin noise and dynamic scaling to generate a dynamic platform of cubes in Unity. The script is flexible, allowing users to tweak parameter in the Inspector to achieve different visula effects and styles for their game or simulation.
