What's in a Name?

Gaea, in Greek mythology, is the personification of Earth - a nod towards the terrain and world generation capabilities this addon brings to your game development toolkit. Plus, we think it sounds pretty cool.

💫 Key Features

Generators

Our collection of generators, including Cellular, Heightmap, and Walker, allow for dynamic and unique world creation. Whether you're looking to create intricate cave systems or sprawling landscapes, Gaea's got you covered.

Modifiers

Further fine-tune your procedurally generated worlds with our set of modifiers. Add layers of complexity and fine-tune the details to create environments that truly come alive.

Renderers

GaeaRenderers are nodes that take the generator's data to render the generation. They can be used for drawing in a TileMap, a GridMap, a mesh, a texture, or whatever you can code.

Chunk loading

Gaea comes with a ChunkLoader node that can generate an area around an actor, allowing both for infinite worlds and to optimize big worlds.
