Welcome to this series on procedural landmass generation. In this introduction we talk a bit about noise, and how we can layer it to achieve more natural looking terrain.
A quick summary:
'Octaves' refer to the individual layers of noise.
'Lacunarity' controls the increase in frequency of each octave.
'Persistence' controls the decrease in amplitude of each octave.
