Procedural world toolkitKBVEWorld
A game-agnostic procedural world toolkit for Unreal Engine. It generates noise-driven terrain chunks, caches them in SQLite, places grass and foliage asynchronously, supplies sky plus post-process defaults, and ships a hex-world module for hex-grid worlds.
Three runtime modules
KBVEWorld ships KBVEWorldCore (noise and seed), KBVEWorld (terrain, grass, foliage, chunk cache), and KBVEHexWorld (hex-grid world subsystems), backed by the in-repo KBVESQLite and KBVEPerf plugins.
- Depends — MassGameplay, ProceduralMeshComponent.
- Cache — SQLite chunk blobs, rehydrated on demand.
What it gives you
Features
Noise-driven terrain
KBVEWorldCore provides seeds and noise; terrain chunk actors build meshes from the sampled heightfield.
SQLite chunk cache
Generated chunks are persisted and rehydrated through the KBVESQLite-backed chunk cache and blob format.
Async grass & foliage
HISM-based grass and foliage placement with GPU compute-shader placement, kept off the game thread.
Hex world
KBVEHexWorld adds hex-grid noise, seed, terrain, and environment subsystems for hex-tile worlds.
