The example below is a Java applet which calculates a fractal fBm surface based on repeated random faults or cuts and displays it as a grayscale image. The image does not wraparound in either x or y. The source code is adapted from Aurel Balmosan's 'faultmap' program posted to Usenet, with significant changes based on my work with John Olsson's Fractal Worldmap Generator.
| This example illustrates simple fractal faulting. This method does take quite a bit of time to execute (this example uses 10000 faults or cuts to generate the surface.) |
