Orometric Noise for Procedural Terrain Generation

June 2021 - March 2022

Novel solution to procedural terrain using Orometry and a modified cellular noise function.

• Published research and gave dissertation using standard Chinese.

• As you can tell from more recent work, I was wrong in my thinking that "I'd better study terrain gen, after all any game I want to create later will definitely need 3d terrain!"
• Became familiar with procedural terrain method techniques both real time and not.

Bookshelf

Created digital bookshelf for children's books using webdesign tools and java back end.

• Became fluent in old-school tools: Glassfish, Netbeans, JSP, mySQL, and more for web development.
