Welcome to this series on procedural landmass generation. In this introduction we talk a bit about noise, and how we can layer it to achieve more natural looking terrain.

A quick summary:

'Octaves' refer to the individual layers of noise.

'Lacunarity' controls the increase in frequency of each octave.

'Persistence' controls the decrease in amplitude of each octave.
