  2. Scenery generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scenery_generator

    A scenery generator is software used to create landscape images, 3D models, and animations. These programs often use procedural generation to generate the landscapes. If not using procedural generation to create the landscapes, then normally a 3D artist would render and create the landscapes.

  4. Heightmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap

    A heightmap created with Terragen The same heightmap converted to a 3D mesh and rendered with Anim8or. In computer graphics, a heightmap or heightfield is a raster image used mainly as Discrete Global Grid in secondary elevation modeling. Each pixel stores values, such as surface elevation data, for display in 3D computer graphics.

  5. Terragen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terragen

    A commercial version of the software is also available and is capable of creating larger terrains, renders with higher image resolution, larger terrain files, and better post-render anti-aliasing than the freeware version. The terrain is generated from a two-dimensional heightmap. The program contains facilities for importing and exporting ...

  6. Grome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grome

    Supports unlimited terrain size using custom data swapping mechanism to hard disk space. Terrain made of multiple terrain zones supporting variable resolution and automatic border stitching. Procedural heightmap generation using fractal, terracing and erosion tools. Possibility to create and assign multiple layers of heightmaps for each zone.

  7. Picogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picogen

    While the primary purpose of picogen is to display realistic 3D terrain, both in terms of terrain formation and image plausibility, it also is a heightmap-creation tool, [1] in which heightmaps are programmed in a syntax reminiscent of Lisp. [2] The shading system is partially programmable. [3]

  8. Diamond-square algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-square_algorithm

    Each random value is multiplied by a scale constant, which decreases with each iteration by a factor of 2 −h, where h is a value between 0.0 and 1.0 (lower values produce rougher terrain). [2] During the square steps, points located on the edges of the array will have only three adjacent values set, rather than four.

  9. Voxel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxel

    Voxel terrain is used instead of a heightmap because of its ability to represent overhangs, caves, arches, and other 3D terrain features. These concave features cannot be represented in a heightmap due to only the top 'layer' of data being represented, leaving everything below it filled (the volume that would otherwise be the inside of the ...
