Procedral Terrain Generator (Open Source)

An open source procedural terrain generator, that doesn’t utilize default Roblox terrain. Terrains that are generated are supposed to be static (non-editable).

It’s main features

  • Configurability
  • Uses OOP - it can handle multiple terrains with different settings
  • Heightmap:
    • Is an fractional Brownian motion created with exponentially destributed Perlin noise with domain warping. It makes more natural-looking terrain with fewer mountains.
    • Have a falloff feature, that allows you to create land completely surrounded with water.
  • River and lake generation
  • A simple forest generator

It is split on 2 main parts:

  • Terrain descriptor - is a facade for all data structures of the terrain.
  • Terrain builder - builds terrain in a workspace using data provided by terrain descriptor.

Currently built terrain consists only from square tiles.
I’ll implement polygonal terrain soon.

This looks really good, it’s really nice if you’re going for a cartoony kind of game.

All plugins are anyway open source, but I find it nice how he directed the code instead of us having to spend 3 minutes to get it :tongue:

Looks amazing! Would love to see what people make out of this.

I can’t get the code, because I can’t open the files.

That looks really cool! seems fitting for something like an island survival type game but it looks really cool!
