For each square in the grid, two triangles are created by connecting fixed vertex indices, resulting in a continuous 3D surface. While this method is efficient for modelling smooth terrain, the grid-like structure lacks the distinct, chaotic appearance of low-poly objects and is not suitable to be used for our purposes. The technique presented in this paper aims to solve the following problem: Generate random, low-poly looking terraced terrain with different biomes and add vegetation to create an interesting environment.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.09350v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.09350v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"procedural-low-poly-terrain-generation-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/richardtivolt/Procedural-Low-Poly-Terrain-Generation","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
