Planet surfer is a simple mobile game where you control a spaceship trying to terraform a planet. This is my first UE4 project and I’m loving it.
The planets in the game are procedurally generated. I start with a subdivided Icosahedron and then apply 3D Perlin noise as height on each vertex along it’s normal. All this is configurable from the editor
Update::Five
Added procedural textures

Update::Three
Pass the noise value through a Curve function to have more control on the landscape

Update::One
Added support for icosahedron subdivisions. Implemented perlin noise and apply it on the landscape height. I’m going for a cartoon look with exaggerated landscape elevations, so it looks more like an asteroid, rather than a planet 
Next, I’ll be working on texturing, atmosphere, different Biomes

Update::Zero
Implemented a custom mesh component for procedural mesh generation. Created a basic icosahedron without subdivisions
