Procedural Generation
In computing, procedural generation is a method of creating data algorithmically as opposed to manually, typically through a combination of human-generated content and algorithms coupled with computer-generated randomness and processing power. In computer graphics, it is commonly used to create Procedural texture, textures and 3D models. In video games, it is used to automatically create large amounts of content in a game. Depending on the implementation, advantages of procedural generation can include smaller file sizes, larger amounts of content, and randomness for less predictable gameplay. Overview The term ''procedural'' refers to the process that computes a particular function. Fractals are geometric patterns which can often be generated procedurally. Commonplace procedural content includes Texture mapping, textures and polygon mesh, meshes. Sound is often also procedurally generated, and has applications in both speech synthesis as well as music. It has been used to creat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
