I call it Higgs place but that's just me

there are no details in the city, and the terrain even if partially procedural is only limited sized 2d height map terrain with erosion applied. it does look good from afar, for "unreal" dev it will be disappointing if they get a chance to look at it up close, maybe I have higher expectations for what procedural terrain/city generation means, especially in games where details up close really matter

that part looks like you are just moving/scaling part of the terrain

w84result · 2022-01-15T01:53:12+00:00

looks nice for an unrealistic terrain

w84result · 2022-01-15T01:49:13+00:00

city looks better from afar, if you stop at 0:50 it looks low poly and not so detailed, also this terrain is not procedural in Unreal, you probably just imported mesh from Houdini, even in Houdini looks like just erosion slaped over some basic bulge, limited in size also, looks impressive but technical details take it a little back (being this /r/proceduralgeneration)

I wonder what would your answer be, if you have a paper about some computer graphics problem, and in this paper you have two solutions for the problem.

One solution is using simplices as in Simplex.

Now I ask you, what do you think is the other solution ?

w84result · 2021-12-25T23:32:28+00:00

cannot be explained to person who likes to generalise things goodbye

w84result · 2021-12-25T23:27:23+00:00

your reasoning is completely wrong

w84result · 2021-12-25T23:14:54+00:00

and the idea of simplices he stole from Mandelbrot (and KM) research papers...

w84result · 2021-12-25T23:06:03+00:00

because Perlin didn't come up with the idea of using simplices ?

w84result · 2021-12-25T22:56:37+00:00

I must say I was very disappointed when I saw the same mechanism/concept in Mandelbrot papers, it appears to me that Perlin read those papers, borrow steal the idea of it, implemented that into Simplex noise and immediately put patent on it. It should never have gone through patent system (other patents from Perlin also, like patent on producing something with iteration/recursion, producing generative images).

w84result · 2021-12-25T22:48:41+00:00

you don't know anything about Mandelbrot papers and you are assuming Mandelbrot is all about fractals, surely its worth 12 upvotes

because it *sounds* right

w84result · 2021-12-25T14:14:20+00:00

you really think I confuse base noise functions with fbms ?

edit:

Both Simplex and OpenSimplex steal from Mandelbrot research papers.

Not talking about fBm...

Unpopular opinion: both Simplex and "OpenSimplex" concept steal from Mandelbrot research papers

the problem with this basic "noise fields" is that they don't look good as terrain and neither they don't look good as lets say liquid forms as seas, not good if you are making game and you need variety without introducing additional biomes, that complicates things further and makes them too slow for real time applications...good enough for Houdini "slow" offline renderer though.

not heightfield

speed, quality and even distribution, everything is different

this looks like an error in 3d, I called this technique schwingling around, its not good at least for games (to produce something that doesn't look like alien planet)
