Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje upotrebu proceduralnog generiranja za stvaranje beskonačnih terena, tehnike koja omogućuje stvaranje prostranih i dinamičnih okruženja. Za implementaciju se u početku koristi OpenGL, a naknadno se kod nadograđuje u pogonu Unreal Engine. Ispituju se prednosti korištenja funkcija šuma i prostornih struktura podataka za generiranje raznolikih krajolika. Prilikom implementacije primjenjuju se različite tehnike optimizacije poput razina detalja (LOD) i udaljenosti odstranjivanja kako bi se dodatno poboljšalo izvođenje programa. Kroz implementaciju i evaluaciju ovih tehnika, rad pokazuje mogućnosti za proceduralno generiranje beskonačnih terena te navodi moguće primjene u različitim medijima poput video igara i filmova.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the use of procedural generation for creating infinite terrains, a technique that enables the development of expansive and dynamic environments. The initial implementation is created in OpenGL, which is subsequently upgraded in the Unreal Engine framework. The thesis examines the advantages of using noise functions and spatial data structures for generation of diverse landscapes. Various optimization techniques, such as level of detail (LOD) and distance culling, are applied to further improve program performance. Through the implementation and evaluation of these techniques, the thesis demonstrates the potential for procedural generation of infinite terrains and outlines possible applications in various media, such as video games and films.
