MATLAB Terrain Generation Program

This project implements a terrain generation program using MATLAB, featuring clean and digestible code architecture ideal for educational purposes. The core algorithm employs procedural generation techniques to create diverse terrain models including mountain ranges, plains, and desert landscapes. Key implementation aspects involve manipulating elevation matrices with Perlin noise algorithms for natural slope variations, while applying texture mapping and color gradients to enhance visual realism. The program incorporates essential terrain parameters such as gradient calculations and altitude profiling through vectorized operations. Additional practical features include 3D model export capabilities using STL/file I/O functions and interactive editing tools implemented via MATLAB's GUI components. The modular code structure separates terrain generation, visualization, and export functionalities into distinct functions, ensuring maintainability and extensibility for various application requirements.
