“…Procedural modeling methods exploit the observation that landform features repeat at different scales and define the elevation either as fractals [15,20] or by using a combination of scaled noise-based functions [17]. Several improvements were proposed to improve user control, such as terrains generated from feature curves [14], rivers [10] or a hierarchical construction tree representation [11]. Specifying generative rules that preserve the overall coherence of the scene is a difficult task, mainly because of the indirect control over the generation processes.…”

We present an efficient method for generating coherent multi-layer landscapes. We use a dictionary built from exemplars to synthesize high-resolution fully-featured terrains from input low-resolution elevation data. Our example-based method consists in analyzing real world terrain examples and learning the procedural rules directly from these inputs. We take into account not only the elevation of the terrain, but also additional layers such as the slope, orientation, drainage area, the density and distribution of vegetation, and the soil type. By increasing the variety of terrain exemplars, our method allows the user to synthesize and control different types of landscapes and biomes, such as temperate or rain forests, arid deserts and mountains.

“…On a coarse scale, the procedural paradigm is applicable to the generation of terrain, e.g., using methods based on hydrology, as presented by JEAN-DAVID GÉNEVAUX [95], or for the inexpensive reconstruction of the landscape surrounding a road, as presented by CARLOS ANDÚJAR et al [96].…”

In the context of computer-aided design, computer graphics and geometry processing, the idea of generative modeling is to allow the generation of highly complex objects based on a set of formal construction rules. Using these construction rules, a shape is described by a sequence of processing steps, rather than just by the result of all applied operations: shape design becomes rule design. Due to its very general nature, this approach can be applied to any domain and to any shape representation that provides a set of generating functions. The aim of this survey is to give an overview of the concepts and techniques of procedural and generative modeling, as well as their applications with a special focus on archeology and architecture.

In this paper, we present an approach to create assets using procedural algorithms in maps generation and dynamic adaptation of characters for a MOBA video game, preserving the balancing feature to players. Maps are created based on offering equal chances of winning or losing for both teams. Also, a character adaptation system is developed which allows changing the attributes of players in real-time according to their behaviour, always maintaining the game balanced. Our tests show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms to establish the adequate values in a MOBA video game.
