| A race track is a prominent feature of any racing game. For any player and/or designer of such a game, the most important aspect of a race track is overall shape of the track itself and fine tuned design of all its turns (profile, width, tilt, etc.).
However, track surroundings, while important to provide mood and atmosphere, do not need to be that detailed as they are not important for the gameplay. To alleviate designer's workload a procedural generation of the track's surroudings can be employed which will allow the designer to focus on the track's design itself. The goal of this thesis is to implement a system for procedural generation of a race track surroundings for an existing racing game. The generator should be able to create plausible landscape with zones (forest, plains, town, spectator stands, etc.) around the track (provided as user input) and populate them meaningfully with prefabs from a provided library. At any point, the generator should be able to fix some of the areas to prevent further changes, or be able to regenerate the whole map or parts of it with different settings. |
