I do

Ooh, I always loved your generators :D
Do you still keep your testing server running?

In various ips and stuff :P don't have one up atm that has a WGEN on it but I'll be seeing if I can develop that 3d one into anything more - perhaps a skylands revival or such.

Ooh, if there is anything I can help with, let me know :D
I had an idea for a middle-earth generator, using voronoi cells to specify the "middle" height of a simplex generator.

Mainly detecting the "upper surface" of these 3d bits to grassify them.

hmm, I couldn't figure that much out either. I just looped through all of the generated blocks and replaced the ones near air with grass.

I'll let you know if I figure it out ;) it'll be something to do with density, I'm sure.

I had an idea. Any values that are at or near the threshold would be near the edges, right? so if we set those blocks to grass, we could coat the outside of the lump, in theory. If that would work, we could create hollow islands, or even caves with 3d noise. I'll tinker with that later today.

yep. it works. yay!!

the stone on the tops is from a 2d simplex generator, thats why there isnt dirt on it.
