Overview
Multi-threaded, CPU-based terrain generation for three.js or react three fiber
Warning These libraries are a work in progress. APIs may change unexpectedly until they reach version 1.0.
In this project you'll find a growing collection of tools to plop large planets into your three.js scene, and then populate that world with interesting things.

Alternatives 💕
There are a couple solutions allow you to create beautiful terrain using web technologies:
-
PlanetTechJS - "What sets this library apart is its utilization of the GPU for all tasks. This includes generating textures for each facet, performing displacement, and shaping PlaneGeometries into spherical forms; the entire process occurs on the GPU. Consequently, there is no need for WebWorkers at this stage."
-
terra - rust-based renderer of offline-generated heightmaps
-
three-landscape - beautiful terrain material

This library would not be possible without their help.
