Struggling to find a decent free terrain generator — everything has a catch

Every tool I try either watermarks the export, caps resolution unless you buy a license, or just looks abandoned. Trying to make heightmaps for a small indie project, nothing crazy — just need clean exports for Unity/Godot.

Anyone found something that just... works, for free?

Help to generate diagonal procedural patterns for UI

Hello there!

For my immediate UI library, I want to implement procedural backgrounds, but I'm having trouble with diagonal patterns. My goal is to achieve the example image shown here.
If the lines arent diagonal, the solution is really just a signed distance line combined with tiling.
However, when I have slanted (or diagonal) lines, I just cant figure out how to make them repeat and have rounded edges. My current attempt is just a diagonal gradient, but I'm missing the rounded lines and the nice edge alignment so they dont get just cut off:

// float spacing = ...
float diagonal = uv.x + uv.y;
float lines = frac(diagonal / spacing);
float distFromLineCenter = abs(lines - 0.5);

Ideally, every rotation of the lines would be neatly arranged on the edge but for now I'm trying 45 degrees first.

Does anyone recognize this pattern or can help me out? Thanks.

Question: How Paralives (game) do the real time procedural generation?

I've been wondering how this game managed to make the system for some of the furnitures that works procedurally in real time. They adapt and scale, the same as if it was a tool made in Houdini or Blender, however it works inside the game.
I know they used Unity as their game engine, so I'm pretty interested to knowing more about that and studying as well. If anyone knows how they did it I'd be very interested to know.

Free Procedural sci-fi space skyboxes — equirect + cubemap + scene-referred HDR, no AI (3-sky sample)

I built a pipeline that generates space skyboxes entirely in code (numpy/Pillow) — no AI, no scraped data, no photoscans — so they're genuinely clean to use commercially.

Sharing a free 3-sky sample (the full set is 12). Each sky:

• 2K equirectangular panorama (for Skybox/Panoramic) + 6 cubemap faces (OpenGL)

• a real scene-referred .hdr for image-based lighting

• seamless across the 360° wrap

Tested in Unity (Skybox/Cubemap or Panoramic) and Unreal (Sky Sphere / HDRI Backdrop); works in Godot and Blender too.

Free link's in the comments. Happy to explain how they're generated, and I'm taking requests for styles/formats people actually need.

Procedural Terrain WIP

Hello, I’m working on a procedural terrain generator to make aesthetic mountains in ROBLOX. I’m planning to add more detail/texturing like sticks, tree stumps, and rocks. However, with the current progress I have right now, the game has around 100k+ baseparts in the workspace, which obviously results in really slow fps. I configured the map to be 1000 studs by 1000 studs, which allows the map to somewhat have all terrain features as well as to be explorable. Any tips of how I can increase fps or do anything about this will help me.

Some general feedback or thoughts on the terrain shape, lighting, details, and texturing would be greatly appreciated.

Game Link: proc terrain gen | Play on Roblox
Note: This showcase has thousands of parts, so your device will be pretty laggy. This map takes a long time to generate, and while generating, it will be even more laggy. Just wait for the notification on the bottom right to pop up. Addionally, the terrain will be generated below the spawn platform. You can regenerate new terrain by leaving and rejoining back, giving you a different seed.

My PC Specs include an i5 CPU, rtx 2060, and 16 gb of RAM

EDIT: I just turned on streaming enabled, and it appears to run much better.

WFC 2D Unity Room based procedural generation?

I want to make a procedural generation system similar to "Cadence of Hyrule" where the map is made up of quadrants or cells and inside each of those cells an area gets generated. However unlike a typical dungeon crawler where you can go from one room to another and it doesn't matter whats on the edge because the edges are all walls. I need the system to detect where a cliff tile is and have a cliff tile on the oppsite edge in the next room. E.g their is a cliff at the top of the room so when you go up and enter the next room their should be a cliff at the bottom. I don't want you to be able to walk forever, I want it so that you load into a new room like a zelda dungeon. I've never done procedural generation so any tips, resources or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
