How to Use Your Terrain Generator Texture
CSS Background
Use as a CSS background for game-related or outdoor-themed website sections. Apply filter: saturate(1.2) in CSS to boost the earthy color palette and improve visual impact on large displays.

background-size: 256px 256px;Blender
Apply to a subdivided plane with a Displacement modifier using the texture's luminance as height data. Scale displacement to 0.1-0.5 for gentle rolling hills or increase for rugged terrain relief.
Unity & Unreal Engine
In Unity, use as a Terrain splat map base layer with height-based blending. In Unreal, feed into a Landscape Material with multiple layers and use World Machine-style height masks for biome transitions.
Photoshop & Figma
Use as a base for map designs and world-building illustrations in Photoshop. Apply Gradient Map adjustments to recolor the terrain for different biomes like desert, tundra, or forest regions.
Game Development
Core material for open-world ground coverage, battlefields, and wilderness areas. Blend with grass, rock, and mud textures using slope-based or altitude-based masking for natural transitions.
Architectural Visualization
Useful for site plan renders, landscape grading visualizations, and terrain analysis presentations. The natural earth-tone palette integrates well with topographic overlay graphics.
Print & Packaging
Use as a background for hiking and outdoor recreation brochures, geological survey reports, and nature reserve promotional materials. The organic complexity adds visual interest to layouts.
Social Media & Video
Creates an adventurous, outdoorsy backdrop for hiking brand content, survival game promotions, and outdoor lifestyle accounts. The earthy tones ground any adventure-themed post.

Rolling Hills
Gentle undulating landscape with lush green valleys and soft ridges. Ideal for pastoral scenes, game terrains, and natural environment backgrounds.
Alpine Mountains
Dramatic jagged peaks with snow-capped summits and deep rocky valleys. Perfect for adventure game maps, mountain landscape renders, and epic terrain backdrops.
Desert Dunes
Endless sandy dunes with warm golden tones and gentle wind-shaped ridges. Suited for arid landscape scenes, desert game worlds, and warm-toned environment art.
Coastal Cliffs
Rugged coastline where land meets sea with steep cliffs and sandy shores. Great for island maps, nautical themes, and coastal environment textures.
Volcanic
Dark dramatic volcanic landscape with ashen rock and glowing lava undertones. Ideal for fantasy game worlds, dystopian scenes, and dramatic terrain art.
Tundra
Flat frozen expanse with sparse vegetation and low snow-covered plateaus. Perfect for arctic scenes, winter game environments, and cold wilderness textures.
Canyon Maze
Deep canyon networks carved by erosion with dramatic vertical walls and shadowed gorges. Ideal for desert exploration game maps and dramatic landscape renders.
River Delta
Flat lowland terrain with winding waterways and lush green vegetation. Perfect for river delta maps, wetland environments, and coastal geography textures.
Frozen Peaks
Towering icy mountains with heavy snow coverage and sharp frozen ridges. Suited for alpine adventure games, winter mountain scenes, and glacial terrain art.
Mesa Plateau
Flat-topped mesa formations with layered rock and arid desert surroundings. Great for southwestern landscape textures, desert game worlds, and geological renders.

How the terrain generator works
The algorithm
The terrain generator composites multiple FBM layers at different frequencies to build a height field. The largest-scale FBM establishes continents, mountains, and valleys. Mid-frequency layers add ridges and hills. Fine-frequency layers contribute surface roughness that reads as vegetation cover or rock detail from above. A colour lookup table maps elevation ranges to biome colours — deep blue for water, tan for beaches, green for grassland, brown for hills, grey for peaks, white for snow — producing an overhead-view colour map that looks like a satellite photo.
What the parameters do
elevation shifts the height scale up or down, which effectively raises sea level or lowers it. ruggedness adjusts the octave count in the FBM — more octaves yield more dramatic, more mountainous terrain. vegetationCover boosts the intensity of mid-elevation green bands. seaLevel sets the water cutoff independently of elevation.
What it's good for
Fantasy map illustration, tabletop RPG session prep, game-engine world generation previews, architecture and landscape planning backdrops, and editorial illustration for nature writing. The generated height field can also be exported as input for real 3D terrain tools.
Practical tips
For island-heavy worlds, lower both elevation and seaLevel together — that preserves the visible ruggedness while adding water. For continental interiors, drop seaLevel to near zero and raise ruggedness; you will get mountain ranges without visible coastlines. Arid regions come from reducing vegetationCover below 0.3.
