+====== Terrain Generation ======
+The goal is here to make a realistic looking terrain which requires very little to none interference of an artist. The terrain includes first off all the geometry of the land but I also want to include the placement of the vegetation.
+Making a realistic terrain we first of all need to start from something basic this is [documentation:terrain:procedural_terraingeneration:noise|perlin noise]]. This create a very charp and random terrain.
+The next stap is to smooth it out in several I'm currently working on 2 ways to do this First of all Thermal errosion this is a more general smooth function in which high placedground is being moved to lower places.
+The second type of errosion is [[documentation:terrain:hydrolic_errosion_and_river_creation|Hydrolic errosion]] this moves the sediment to lower place according to water flow. This also carves out rivers which gives the terrain an even more realistic look.
+The vegetation system isn't started yet but i hope to start it soon.
+I just implemented a way of sharpening out the terrain by adding more vertices at the same terrain.
