So for my university final assignment I'm doing a procedural world generator in unity. The idea is that different types of terrain are generated such as ocean, swamp, hills etc. I have the different biomes generating as chunks with different colours at the moment and the next step for me is to smoothly transition between them rather than drop off from one terrain type to another.

To do this I'm going to need to adjust the heightmap so that the edges join together rather than having gaps between them. The noise is continuous so biomes of the same type connect seamlessly. However with different biomes the height generated from any given noise is different, that way my mountains stick up without my ocean chunks being weird shapes. The result is like I said earlier, there are seams between my chunks that I need to stitch.

So my real question is what approaches are there currently to blend from one height map to another?

  • \$\begingroup\$ Did you consult Blend different biomes with linear interpolation, How to blend biomes with procedural terrain, How to randomly generate biomes with Perlin noise and other past Q&A on this topic, accessible via the search box? Did you run into any specific problems with the approaches described there that we can help you overcome? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @DMGregory I'd done a search but didn't find any of those questions! thanks for pointing me to them! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 11, 2021 at 12:38
  • \$\begingroup\$ First page of results with the keyword "biome". 😉 I've put this question on hold for now. If you find a gap the past Q&A hasn't covered, or a problem with these approaches you'd like to find an alternative solution for, then you can edit your question to describe that refined focus and we can re-open it for new answers. \$\endgroup\$
