Procedural terrain generation for Godot 4 based on MeshInstance3D and a height map. Generation is available both in the editor and during execution.
Check out the post on dev.to as well: Crafting Procedural Landscapes in Godot 4
- Attach the
terrain_generator.gdscript to a MeshInstance3D node. - Set the Heightmap: Set height map texture (e.g., PNG, JPG, etc.).
- Adjust the Subdivisions property to control the terrain detail. Be careful, as a subdivisions value greater than the map size may result in "steps" on the surface!
- Configure the data saving path if you want to use it in the editor, and click "Generate Landscapes". Now you can generate the landscape in advance and use it without having to generate a mesh every time you run!
Tested on Godot 4.4. It’s public domain, so use it however you want!
