Generating procedural meshes and terrains
All my life I’ve been fascinated by generators of all kind, like generating Terrain with just lines of code and finally I’ve been diving into this realm.
I’ve been following a tutorial for creating meshes in Unity and I highly recommend it, if you’re interested in coding your worlds:
This is the result of the first part, where you just generate Square-Meshes and procedural build a 2D Minecraft-Style world with several layers of Perlin Noise.
Perlin Noise is a random generator, that generates not so random numbers. Cool eh?
This is the result of the 3D part of the tutorial. It’s very Minecraft-y, I know. But pretty sweet, right?!
Now, I really like to complicate things now. I’ve always fantasized with making HexGrids and procedural Hex Meshes, so I gave it a try:
(I love Unitys Image Effekts, now that they are free...)
But I found a major problem, so this is kind of like a ModelViewController pattern: I have a grid with the information (Model) and the View is the terrain. The Hexagons are generated and then “joined” together.
Reading this awesome article about hexagons, apparently I didn’t finish the whole article. In the second paragraph it says, that using the offset coordinate system is not applicable.
NOW I HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN.
Anyhow, I will update you on my progress with this topic! Later, guys!
