Abstract

Here we report on the researches and development of the static ecosystem plugin to Unity 3D game development platform, also the creation of neural network has been described. It allows for the designer-driven automatic generation of computer game assets based on the two vastly different approaches: procedural and artificial-neural-network-based; with user-defined object to be cloned, area to be populated and placement rules. Both methods have been applied to the problem of photorealistic distribution of stones on the hillside (including demonstration of the common placements mistakes). All the approaches were then evaluated by the panel of the computer gamers. Opinion of some participants of the experiment with the corresponding results were summarized.
