I’m tired of terrain generation techniques that just involves noise. People should really try to step up and make landforms that are modeled after tectonic act

People should really try to step up and make landforms that are modeled after tectonic activity and create biomes based on weather patterns and ocean current. The end result will be far more natural and realistic.

- amitp 1y agoBTW in the next article the author goes into wind, evaporation, orographic rainfall, rivers, biomes. But not ocean current or tectonic activity. There's a different blog series that does go into plate tectonics: https://frozenfractal.com/blog/2023/11/13/around-the-world-2-plate-tectonics/ https://frozenfractal.com/blog/2023/11/13/around-the-world-2... Coincidentally Civ 7 just announced they're using plates with voronoi for their new map generator.
