Anyone created a good random terrain generator?

| I want to create random worlds during runtime for 3d terrains. I want them to be realistic and varied and smooth enough to move around. Has anyone managed this and willing to give out the code (or some tips)? |

| Try this one...worked nicely for me. http://www.robot-frog.com/3d/hills/ |

| That is an awesome tutorial mearrin69... I have been looking for alternatives to Perlin Noise for generating ladscapes for a while now. Another method to look at is: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/fluidterrain/ It uses fluid simulation to generate a terrain. Looks similiar to Perlin Noise though. Not that Perlin Noise is bad, it is just that everything seems to use it nowadays... sometimes you want a bit of a different look to things! |

| There is a perlin noise terrain generator in the code archives that I wrote. |

| wow. that hill tut mearrin69 linked to is nice. obvious, but nice. You could create tiny map files with this simply by storing hill size and positioning. If I was doing an in-depth game, I'd also include object/enemy positions, and more modifiers, like one to flatten an area for a building. |
