Low poly landscape generator

Primary LanguageC#

Procedural landscape generator

Generate your own low poly landscape using Unity. Captura

How it works

A cellular automata algorithm is used to define the coastline. The heightmap is just the result from processing a noise map through a normalized kernel convolution. The colours are added to the mesh vertices (don't forget to use an appropriate shader to show the colours correctly!)

Setting things up

  1. You will need Unity installed to generate the maps
  2. Create an empty GameObject
  3. A Mesh Renderer is needed to show the landscape. Add it to the GameObject
  4. Add CreateLandscapeMesh.cs to the GameObject
  5. Add a Shader to the GameObject. I'm using a Standar(VertexColor) due to how colours were added
  6. A plane mesh (with height 1) with a FX/Water shader was added to make the water effect
