On my phone but very interested in this (hence leaving a comment so I can find it later). What’s the variation, can we generate different maps from the same low res seed?
I’m interested in this because “macro maps” can be hand built in a way that may want to preserve gameplay balance while individual games can still feel broadly unique.
Thank you! Yes as well as the input image you can pass in a seed value (otherwise the result is deterministic). I hadn't tried it with pure noise rather than satellite data but it does pretty well: https://jgibbs.dev/assets/terrainsr-noise.png

can you talk to some about how you trained this? this is such a neat idea!!
