Top Environment Choices for Procedural Generation?
What are some of the best choices for environments that support procedurally generating 3D worlds that can include terrain, lakes, roads and simple buildings? I'm ok with grid-aligned cube-based options. I’d prefer something free that support a language like python, javascript or java. I also think I’d prefer that my code runs 'outside' the environment and makes api calls to add my artifacts but I’m open to the possibility that I'm misguided and should rethink my constraints.

I need help with transitioning between biomes.
Hello, I am developing a game in Godot but I have been stuck for a while because I can't manage to create a smooth transition between biomes in an optimized way.
The approach that has given me the best results is as follows:
* I assign a base height to each biome.
* I assign a biome to each chunk.
* I assign a height for each position within a chunk:
* I get the biomes of the surrounding chunks.
* I apply bilinear interpolation.
However, I continue to get broken transitions, so I don't know if the error is in my logic or in its implementation.
Right now, this is the code I use to determine the height:
func get_height(p : Vector2, c : ChunkData) -> int:
p /= 15
var fn = c.biome_nw.height + (c.biome_ne.height - c.biome_nw.height) * p.x
var fs = c.biome_sw.height + (c.biome_se.height - c.biome_sw.height) * p.x
return fn + (fs - fn) * p.y

Is Quadspinner a legit software
Hi everyone,
I just stumble on a software that shows promising results in terrain generation, which is called Quadspinner
When looking up the "About" page, I saw that most of the core team is not at all in programming. When I look up their bio, none of them displays that they work for this software.
Is it a real company or is that a scam in some way?

Question, Unity. Generation sometimes doesn't work.
Im trying to generate roads. Roads are meshes. I also have connections between those roads. Two roads are connected in one point. Lets call that road 1 and road 2 connected a "connection". So I have several types of such connections, for example I can have two roads with start of one road connected with end of another road. Or I can have a road connecting to some middle point of another road etc. Anyway I made several tests for checking if that system works. Turns out it sometimes does not.
[I run those tests. First test is building and removing simple single straight road with no connection 50 times, ignore that, that works. The next 50 times i build one straight road and from its end one curved road. For some reason it not always works like you see in this example.](https://i.redd.it/ty5odhs5fq2c1.gif)
I can build manually with my mouse and now i want to be able to do the same in code, so i use coroutines. When I build roads manually i pick coordinates with my mouse, so no issues there. Here Im trying to move end point of my second curved road to a set point, but the end snaps to the ending for some reason. Although I have a system to snap end when you move cursor too close to some built before road but it shouldn't be the case here and it is not most of the time.
Methods of those tests:
private void BuildAndDestroyAllSeveralTimes()
{
StartCoroutine(BuildAndDestroy());
IEnumerator BuildAndDestroy()
{
//I is one straight
yield return BuildAndDestroySeveralTimes_I_Coroutine();
//I_II is straight + curved
yield return BuildAndDestroySeveralTimes_I_II_Coroutine();
//...
}
}
public IEnumerator BuildAndDestroySeveralTimes_I_II_Coroutine()
{
Debug.Log("----BuildAndDestroySeveralTimes_I_II started");
Vector3 a = new(0, 0, 0);
Vector3 b = new(20, 0, 20);
Vector3 c = new(20, 0, -20);
var firstSegm = (start: a, end: b);
var secondSegm = (start: b, end: c);
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
yield return BuildSegm(firstSegm);
yield return BuildSegm(secondSegm);
UnbuildSegm(firstSegm);
UnbuildSegm(secondSegm);
Debug.Log($"--Cycle {i + 1} finished");
}
Debug.Log("----BuildAndDestroySeveralTimes_I_II finished");
}
private Coroutine BuildSegm((Vector3 start, Vector3 end) segm) => StartCoroutine(rb.BuildRoad_Routine(segm.start, segm.end));
private void UnbuildSegm((Vector3 start, Vector3 end) segm) => rb.RemoveRoad(segm.start, segm.end);
//rb is RailBuilder class, methods of that class:
public IEnumerator BuildRoad_Routine(Vector3 start, Vector3 goal)
{
//selecting start state
//move det, set up detected road if any
detector.transform.position = start;
//i found it works better if i wait three frames
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
//switch to drawing initial segment state
stateMachine.UpdateState(wasHit: true, hitPoint: start, lmbPressed: true, rmbPressed: false);
yield return new WaitUntil(() => stateMachine.CurrentState is RbInitialSegmentState);
//move det, set up detected road if any
detector.transform.position = goal;
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
//switch to drawing noninitial segment state
stateMachine.UpdateState(wasHit: true, hitPoint: goal, lmbPressed: true, rmbPressed: false);
yield return new WaitUntil(() => stateMachine.CurrentState is RbNoninitialSegmentState);
//switch to select start state
stateMachine.UpdateState(wasHit: true, hitPoint: goal, lmbPressed: false, rmbPressed: true);

Need help with zooming into a point on the noise map/height map
Hello!
So im doing a game with procedural generation for a map, and im wondering if i could zoom into a point on the noise map im using for generating the world map. Similarly how you would for example, in google maps/earth, pick a lake somewhere, and zoom into it, where you get more and more details around it and the lake is getting bigger and bigger.
Im using Unity LTS 2022, if anyone wondering, but im open if the help is in any other language.
The code i have now
int size = 256;
float, noiseMap = new floatsize,size;
float seed = Random.Range(short.MinValue, short.MaxValue);
float scale = WorldNoiseScale; //WorldNoiseScale is a SerializedField
float offsetX = NoiseOffset.x; //NoiseOffset is a SerializedField
float offsetY = NoiseOffset.y; //NoiseOffset is a SerializedField
for(int x = 0; x < size; x++)
{
for(int z = 0; z < size; z++)
{
float xCoord = ((float)(x + offsetX + seed) / (float)size) scale;
float yCoord = ((float)(y + offsetY + seed) / (float)size) scale;
noiseMap x, z = Mathf.PerlinNoise(xCoord, yCoord);
}
}
When im tweaking the values in the inspector, the noise map is only moving diagonally, shown on the pictures below
https://imgur.com/a/cSuFGqu
If i "follow" the point i have selected by changing the offset, it doesn't get bigger, even though i changed the scale to "zoom in", shown in the picture below
https://imgur.com/a/5tt0Qq9
I dont know, maybe someone smarter than me, could help me out here.

How would I generate a terraria-like terrain in python?
I'm making a game for a school project and I was wondering how you'd go about making a terraria like terrain (not necessarily with chasms). Would perlin noise be the best way of doing this? The player of the game also needs to be able to place blocks or materials in the same way you would in terraria or minecraft.
Thanks in advance

Mostly-Coherent text generation with seed words
Hi
I'm trying to build a tiny project that requires using a sequence of seed words and generating text "around them". E.g, "build, big, round" should produce "I am going to build a big round building".
The problem is, I can't find any algorithm that can generate grammatically correct text, without relying on neural networks.
My only requirement is that the solution shouldn't be unreasonably computing expensive. And if there is a lightweight ML model for that, it would still be suitable for this project.
I would really appreciate any hints.

Need help choosing research topic for my masters
I am fairly new to procedural generation. Right now , I am learning the different algorithms and trying to create simple landforms based on them in Processing.
I would love to work with infinite procedurally generated worlds in virtual reality for my masters, for which I need to submit a research proposal first.
Can anyone give some advice on how relevant the above topic is or how I can improve it or suggest some other topics maybe?
Thanks
