How would you approach cutting out a terrain like this? I'm struggling to imagine a system that takes both terrain features and arbitrary lines and combines them for a realistic border.

Question: Does someone here ever made something to correct an flaw in an image ? like PixelArt ?

So here is the Problem in Pixelart there are some rules that let pixelart look good.

But in complex pictures its hard to find every flaw, for example
Pixelart Lines need to be like this

and curves like this:

Now my question is ,is it possible for an script to detect wrong lines and/or curves and mark/correct them on the fly in the right form with overpainting ???

New idea for generating interesting terrain or occasionally discontinuous results.

I lack a computer at the moment and thus am working on preproduction stuff for my project.

One of the things I've been struggling with is how to make a terrain generator that fits my needs.

One of the traits I've desired is the ability to occasionally produce non-smooth results such as cliffs or ravines.

I think I figured out how to accomplish this and I can't wait to explore all the other possibilities as well.

The idea here is to produce three noise maps, this can be done by any fashion you like that produces noise maps, though I will generally treat it at perlin noise like (note, perlin noise and similar often combines many layers at different scales, with my method, fewer layers are needed).

Two of these maps are basically terrain maps, the third dictates how to combine the two.

The values of the third map, the union map, dictate adding the values (or multiplying them) in different amounts. The extreme values near 0 and 1 result in roughly equal measure of the two maps, but as values approach 0.5, things are skewed towards one map or the other. Less then 0.5 will skew towards map A as values get closer to 0.5, but above 0.5 things will skew towards map B. Thus when the union map reaches 0.5 it creates a discontinuity on the result.

Of course, there is a lot of flexibility in using a union map by changing how the union map values influence the two maps. For example, in the Myst games, one of the ages (basically worlds) is a lot of low hills but with these really tall rock pillars dotting the landscape. This should be reproducible by setting map A to produce low hills and setting map B to be much higher and with more interesting underground generation, then the union map can be set to be all map A except when the union map gets values above 0.95 then it jumps to all map B, resulting in rock pillars.

Another Myst age has basically three heights really low, really high and winding paths and corridors about halfway up thus having tall walls and deep crevices. This could be reproduced by map A being low, map B being high and the union map having only a narrow window of values where the maps are combined in which the values of the two maps are averaged, giving mid height terrain in narrow corridors or canyons.

Anyway, because the two maps can be combined, depending on your setup, you can have each noise map operate at fewer layers since the combination will be at the layers of both maps except near the discontinuities.

Extra broken terrain can be produced by having multiple discontinuities.

What do you guys think? Anyone think they might find use for this?
