Genesis Engine

The powerful procedural generation of planets is made possible by the Genesis Engine, underpinned by randomized textual algorithms. These algorithms create distinct, stylistic planets adhering to various base textures and classes.

The Genesis Engine uses texture synthesis algorithms to digitally construct planet planes, each with its own texture and pattern intricacies. These textures are designed by our in-house artists, to create hundreds of variations of planet landscapes in 3D, that reflect and align to its planet class. Traditionally, these synthesis algorithms are used for post-production in films, image editing, and more. By pushing the barriers of innovation, the Genesis Engine optimizes this algorithm and augments it for a 3D environment.

This in-house decal algorithm takes each of these textured planes, positioned at different angles which gradually contact the base planet. Upon this contact, it imposes a piece of the texture onto the planet based on the randomized noise on its surface. This elegant imposition gives each planet its own unique flair and construction, different from every other planet.

Finally, each unique generation of a planet is embedded into a single seed number, containing all of the planet’s metadata. This number allows us to reproduce the exact randomization of each planet anywhere and at any time.

The Genesis Engine utilizes these algorithms to achieve hyperrealism. A strong representation of what is possible when applying passion and motivation to push limits of physical innovation. The human obsession with space and science fiction has blurred boundaries as we strive to understand space, stars, and everything in between. With the power of creation in our hands, we can now design by carving a slice of infinity, explore its depths, and take over what lies in the unknown.
