Hi,

I am trying to re-code the terrain generation for fun, but I really don't understand the combination of 2/3 diamond-square and 1/3 Voronoi.

I have succesfully generated the voronoi heightmap and I have also generated a diamond-square heightmap based upon randomly generated corners, but I can't find how to combine the both methods.

Thanks for your help.

It's quite simple really, just an ordinary linear combination:

1) Multiply all values in the noise map with 2/3
2) Multiply all values in the voronoi map with 1/3
3) Add the noise map to the voronoi map to produce the new combined map

Good luck with your landscape generation efforts

Thanks a lot !!

Now, I have a result which is much more like the one in your paper !
But it is still very dark.
I think that there is still a lot to do

By the way, with your method, I think you have found a unique way to do terrains in games, and game developpers won't have to do terrain editors ans texture splatting, etc when they just have to save a seed !

Tribal Trouble rocks !
