Procedural Planet Generation

Pitch

This project focuses on creating procedural planets, including the creation of the planet meshes and procedural props placement. The planet surface is created using multi-layer procedural noises (Perlin, Simplex, and Voronoi), and noise filters (Simple and Rigid).

There is also a biome system, with each biome having its own noise layers and color gradients, with smooth blending between them.
The color on the surface of the planet is made with a material using a gradient texture filled with gradients of each biome and data such as biome percentage and elevation.
Procedural props are placed using spherical sampling techniques, such as the multi-class Poisson Disc algorithm, which won't provide any overlapping or Random Offset Spherical Grid.

My Tasks

• Implemented multiple noise algorithmes such as Perlin, Simplex or Voronoi Noise
• Developed planet meshes creation with multiple noise layers, octaves, and noise filters
• Implemented the biome system and smooth transition between them
• Created the planet material
• Implemented props placement with multi-class Poisson Disc algorithm and Random Offset Spherical Grid
