TSL Textures

Planet

This texture generates the surface colors of a planet. There are six types of terrains groups into three clusters: water area, land area and highlang (mountaneous) area. The generated texture is for color maps. Click on a snapshot to open it online.

Code template

import { planet } from "tsl-textures/planet.js";

model.material.colorNode = planet ( {
	scale: 2,
	iterations: 5,
	levelSea: 0.3,
	levelMountain: 0.7,
	balanceWater: 0.3,
	balanceSand: 0.2,
	balanceSnow: 0.8,
	colorDeep: new THREE.Color(4948895),
	colorShallow: new THREE.Color(12642550),
	colorBeach: new THREE.Color(16776680),
	colorGrass: new THREE.Color(8772274),
	colorForest: new THREE.Color(30720),
	colorSnow: new THREE.Color(16318463),
	seed: 0
} );

Parameters

• scale – level of details of the pattern, higher value generates smaller but more numerous lands, [0, 4]
• iterations – number of granulations of terrain, [0, 10]
• levelSea – relative altitude for sea level, higer value generates more water [0, 1]
• levelMountain – relative altitude for where a mountain starts, higer value generates less mountains [0, 1]
• seed – number for the random generator, each value generates specific pattern

Water parameters:

• colorDeep – color of deep ocean water
• colorShallow – color of shallow coastal water
• balanceWater – ratio between deep water and shallow water, [0,1]

Land parameters:

• colorBeach – color of beach sand
• colorGrass – color of low land grass
• balanceSand – ratio between sand and grass, [0,1]

Highland parameters:

• colorForest – color of forest part of highlangs
• colorSnow – color of snowy mountains peaks
• balanceSnow – ratio between forest and snow, [0,1]
