GameFromScratch.com GeoGen – Procedural Terrain and Planet Generator Today we are checking out GeoGen, an application for generating terrain/landscapes as well as planets procedurally, from JangaFX, the creators of EmberGen and the free Game Texture Viewer.
alpha 1 ― the first official alpha build of our upcoming major milestone, enabling all interested users to try it out and report bugs, as well as provide feedback on the new features. branch, we're going to release new alpha builds every other week, so that testers can always have a recent version to test the latest changes.
Everything is just one big texture. I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. So it’s RGBZ.
Modern Quake tools have much better lighting controls than 25 years ago, including alpha masked texture-based shadows and some nice ambient light configs, but it's still pretty primitive by today's standards and I had to iterate a lot to balance the shadowing vs. the self-illumination for a natural look.
Additionally, a 3D vector field texture can be provided for use with vector fields generated in Maya or other tools. This type of collision works over a large area and is ideal for terrain, as well as for excluding rain, snow, smoke, etc. Attractors were supported to some limited extent in Godot 2.x, They now fully work in 4.0.
But the "1" in beta 1 means that it's only the first step of the journey, and like for the alpha phase, we're going to release new beta snapshots roughly every other week. 2D: Make TileMap terrain painting not change neighbors centers bits ( GH-67390 ). Editor: Make texture preview filter setting content aware ( GH-67426 ).

Since the last post I’ve been working on the terrain’s vegetation. Doing it before starting the actual game would mean to already generate all the content that needs to be batched at the beginning, which is no solution for a theoretically “endless procedurally generated” terrain.

Editor: Allow right-click to erase TileSet terrains and TileMap autotiles ( GH-65903 , GH-66656 ). GUI: Improve ColorPicker UX ( GH-62910 ).

makes up for it by providing an extremely powerful default material (which supports detail textures, triplanar mapping and other nice features) and an extremely easy-to-use shader language. It parses your code and automatically understands what you are trying to do (such as writing to alpha for transparency, reading from screen, etc.)
