This project focuses on generating realistic terrains with infinite resolution using Python. By leveraging Numba, the generator achieves high computational efficiency, enabling detailed exploration from large-scale continents to small valleys.
It creates a base map using diamond-square algorithm. And combines interpolation of the base map and finer frequency FBM noise to generate zoomable maps.
| Level | Resolution | Asset |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Zone | ~100 km | |
| 2 - County | ~50 km |  |
| 3 - Cluster | ~25 km |  |
| 4 - City | ~12 km |  |
| 5 - Town | ~6 km |  |
| 6 - Village | ~3 km |  |
| 7 - Hamlet | ~1.5 km |  |
- Infinite terrains: Generate heightmaps at any zoom level.
- Realistic erosion: Simulate thermal, hydraulic and wind erosion for natural-looking landscapes.
- Customizable: Adjust parameters to create diverse and unique terrains.
- Visualization tools: Preview terrains in both 2D and 3D.
- Optimized performance: Critical computations are accelerated using Numba.
