Atlas is an OpenGL procedural randomly generated terrain generation application that implements Perlin noise height maps, view frustum culling, and instancing.

Features

• Randomly generated height maps via Perlin noise
• Biomes determined by elevation
• Low poly, smooth, and mesh modes
• Ambient, diffuse, and specular general shading
• Linear, exponential, and exponential squared fog shading
• (Snowy) Grass texture and shading
• Skybox and environment mapping
