# Voxel-survival-primitive-UE4
THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED, AS AN ADVANCED VERSION IS CREATED SEPARATELY.
Content:
***Voxel terrain generation***
heightmap-independent biomes(mountains, oceans, islands, swamp), rivers(short and long), surface overhang, foliages, heightmap-dependent biomes(grassland, desert, tundra)
***Runtime effects***
Dynamic skybox with day/night cycle and weather effects
# Endless terrain generation system
====================================
The terrain generation system uses SimplexNoise2D, which is an enhanced version of perlin noise, to generate seamless and tileable terrain.
A piece of pseudo code for the dual-chunk generation class:
```
for(chunkWidth = 0; chunkWidth <= 5; chunkWidth++){
for(chunkHeight = 0; chunkHeight <= 5; chunkHeight++){
UWorldSetWorldLocation(VoxelWorldLoc.X, VoxelWorldLoc.Y, USimplexNoise::SimplexNoise2D(VoxelWorldLoc.X, VoxelWorldLoc.y));
}
}
```
Note: For bp-code branches, which will likely be added in the future, all C++ classes are exposed to child blueprints, allowing artists to customize the procedural terrain without writing a single line of code OR editing the parent blueprint.
# Features
====================================
We have implemented:
**basic artificial intelligence units**(templates for passive mobs);
**biomes based on geographical factors** that are illustrated in any whittaker diagram;
**Procedural river generation**
block placing & breaking( **advanced manipulations like stretch and rotation included** );
**infinite terrain generation** based on the concept of chunk( mineraft style );
Custom foliages:
