Abstract: Overhangs have been a major stumbling block in the context of terrain synthesis models. These models resort invariably to a heightfield paradigm, which immediately precludes the existence of any type of overhang. This article presents a new technique for the generation of surfaces, with the ability to model overhangs in a procedural way. This technique can be used generally to model landscape elements, not only terrains but also the surface of the sea. The technique applies non-linear... (Update)
