Noise terrain with height and slope splatting
In your harnessGodot shaderMIT
Turn a subdivided plane into terrain: fractal noise displaces the vertices, a sea level flattens water, and the fragment stage paints sand, grass, rock and snow by height and slope.
What it takes and gives
- Shader type
- spatial
- Parameters
- height_scale (float = 1.4), frequency (float = 0.45), noise_octaves (int = 5), sea_level (float = 0.38), water_color (vec4 = 0.12, 0.35, 0.55, 1), sand_color (vec4 = 0.82, 0.74, 0.52, 1), grass_color (vec4 = 0.25, 0.48, 0.18, 1), rock_color (vec4 = 0.42, 0.38, 0.34, 1) and 4 more
- Use it on
- A subdivided PlaneMesh; the demo uses 128 x 128 subdivisions on 8 x 8 metres.
- Result
- Rolling green islands with beaches, rocky slopes and snowy peaks in a flat blue sea.

Limits. Collision and gameplay height must be computed separately on the CPU with the same noise. Normals come from finite differences with a fixed step and lose detail on very rough settings. Water is flat colour with no waves. Each vertex samples the fBm three times.
