    Finally, someone who thinks perlin looks ugly. Also I unintentionally did the gradient method in one of my own programs and I have a good optimisation tip, I stored the gradient function (an in the video was x/x+m) as a gradient at the bottom of a texture I was using in the rendering process, its a small performance improvement and probabally slower unless your allready using an image in the process, but if your gradient functions are more complex and expensive it could be ever so slightly faster. One downside was that scince it was stored in an image it had to use a byte to store its value so you only had a gradient "resolution" of 256 this was barely noticeable though.

    • @DreadKyller
      @DreadKyller 7 месяцев назад +5

      I mean 16-bit images are a thing, so you could use a different image format and remove the 256 resolution limit. It's also worth noting that instead of an image you could store a more generic 2D array of values (Or if on the GPU a buffer).

    As a terrain artist, the DLA approach really peaked (hah) my interest. Fractal Perlins just don't cut it, although indeed much more interesting than plain Perlins, they still have that "CGI" feel to them. I think the DLA approach offers a really solid base shape which you can tweak and augment further without a lot of hassle. Do you happen to know if such an algorithm is resource intensive and/or easy to code?
    An alternative method, which I think you could combine with Perlin and Voronoi cells, is to cut out rivers and valleys in a select area of your terrain. You'd have to somehow ensure the edges of your Voronoi cells all have the same elevation, so the water would flow to a common lowest point, but then you could (I think) do partial water simulation, cut valleys, and have great mountain shapes. If interested, I have a timelapse of such process on my channel!
    As for using plain old hydraulic erosion, imo that only works if you do a proper terrain simulation, so it doesn't appear feasible to me at the moment. You'd need different layers of rock to be simulated, as otherwise all terrain is eroded equally, and in the end it would still look artificial (just search "World Machine Mountain" and you will see the flowlines of the erosion and shapes all are similar).

    Incredible video. I've never done any terrain generation or even computer graphics work before, but I was hooked all the way through. As others have said the humor was witty and the visual choices (like the two robots at 7:05) were great, but I wanted to highlight a moment at 6:32. When you introduce and start explaining finite difference approximation, the immediate question that comes to mind for me as a viewer is "why not just make the difference as small as possible?" And immediately you have an extremely intuitive and expressive animation showing both the reason that doesn't work (the pixelated zoom-in) and what would happen if you did it. That detail could have taken 5+ minutes to explain, or could have just been skipped and left as an unresolved anxiety, but in 3 seconds and half a sentence I've already had my question answered before I even asked it, built quality intuition about what's going on, and feel comfortable that I've grasped the concept. Seriously top-tier stuff here.

    your explanation of gradients is one of the best i’ve ever seen. really impressive for a video where that isn’t even the main goal.

    I don't know if I've ever seen your videos before, but this information is EXACTLY what I was looking for, and I wasn't even expecting it!!! Thank you for such an amazing visualization. Keep up the great work!

    This was a GREAT watch.
    Loved it. These two algorythms are very interesting
    The visual style of yours is also simply beautiful

    The attention to detail in the visualizations is incredible. I'm a graphics programmer myself and I was delighted by how much explanatory weight your animations hefted (clarifying and fleshing out the breezy voice over). You have a real talent for visual elucidation.
    This seems like an insane amount of work per minute of video. I hope it is worth it for you, because this really is top tier educational material.

    6:33 That was such a good way of showing how the limited resolution could drastically affect the result. It's not a very complicated concept, but you just showed it so well

    I did not expect to finally understand how upscaling works so well on a video about generating mountain terrain. Everything else you explained made sense too, you do an excellent job at it!

    This video has one of the best explanations of how gradients are calculated. Very epic

    For anyone following along at home, I found that it was helpful to decrease the "influence" of the "crisp" images every time you add them. Otherwise, you just get a big lumpy mess.
    EDIT: also amazing video, I just got done implementing this in java and it is by far the coolest thing I've ever done. You are a legend.

    I love this channel so much. It’s all the little things you do. Like how the bulky orange robot is used to symbolize the brute force method. And the lean elegant robot represents the lighter, but more complex approach.

    This is such an astoundingly well-made video. Clean, concise, understandable with exactly the needed amount of detail to understand the subject without drowning. And the production of the video itself is incredible too! I'll have to watch a second time just because I really want to focus on exactly what has been done mechanically to both animate the video as well as how it works together with the VO to help convey the message better.

    The production value of these is insane. The water splash at 4:04 was unexpected and fun, and the two robots representing brute force and analytical approaches were great.
