InfiniteDiffusion: Bridging Learned Fidelity and Procedural Utility for Open-World Terrain Generation

For decades, procedural worlds have been built on procedural noise functions such as Perlin noise, which are fast and infinite, yet fundamentally limited in realism and large-scale coherence. Conversely, diffusion models offer unprecedented fidelity but remain generally confined to bounded canvases. We introduce InfiniteDiffusion, a training-free algorithm that reformulates diffusion sampling for lazy and unbounded generation, bridging the fidelity of diffusion models with the properties that made procedural noise indispensable: seamless infinite extent, seed-consistency, and constant-time random access. To demonstrate the utility of this approach, we present Terrain Diffusion, a framework for learned procedural terrain generation with a procedural noise-like interface. Our framework outpaces orbital velocity by 9 times on a consumer GPU, enabling realistic terrain generation at interactive rates. We integrate a hierarchical stack of diffusion models to couple planetary context with local detail, a compact Laplacian encoding to stabilize outputs across Earth-scale dynamic ranges, and an open-source infinite-tensor framework for constant-memory manipulation of unbounded tensors. Together, these components position diffusion models as a practical foundation for the next generation of infinite virtual worlds.

How do you programmatically generate non-uniform, natural forms? Perlin noise is a foundational algorithm for this task.

This Silphium Design guide provides a technical walkthrough for using Perlin noise in JavaScript to create animated 3D mountain terrain. It covers 2D heightmaps, fractal noise (fBm), and 3D implementation.

A solid resource for generative art and digital biophilia.
