Abstract

The paper presents the possibilities of procedural generation of video game environments using Unreal Engine game engine. Two systems were created, a system that generates terrain using ready-made 3D models, as well as a system that generates models used to create a terrain. Systems that procedurally place models and particle systems on the generated terrain were created. The performances of the created systems were analyzed.
