PlanetGeneration

Procedural generation of planets (or asteroids, etc.) using Unity.

Techniques used:

  • 3D fBm using 3D Perlin noise
  • Procedural sphere generation from cube normalization for trivial UV mapping
  • Vertex displacement using the 3D fBm
  • Numerical computation of vertex position's derivates to compute vertex normals
  • Multithreaded mesh generation with dynamic LOD using quadtrees
  • GPU-based planet texturing using Unity's surface shaders
