Terragen and artificial intelligence

[René]

Does Terragen use artificial intelligence? I believe not, but it would be interesting to explore the possibilities. Imagine you could upload a picture of a texture, say of a rock or something else and the program would then figure out on its own how to make this texture with the tools Terragen has.
Just a thought.

I agree. I just posted in open discussion about AI being used to model cloud volumes in like a second.

Terragen might actually be well suited to build datasets for a project like this. If you collected up a ton of Terragen generated terrains, along with a bunch of renders of those terrains, you could probably train a model to output the terrain from a photo or photos. Same could probably be done for textures and photos. I'll have to look into this, I'm in grad school atm for numerical computation and doing a lot of ML stuff. Always on the lookout for projects!
