Im using Unity, although this question is not really specific to that engine.
Im also using an asset from the store called Coherent Noise. It has some neat noise functionality built it.
I am using those functions to produce some noise values. I am getting a value between 0 and 1 (floats).
I have an array of blocks (for minecraft like voxel terrain) and I am confused on how to use this float value for terrain?
Do I do something like <= 0 == Solid block etc etc?
I am confused on how to use the floating values that the noise functions produce to use for height values of an array of say a height of 16.
Thanks for any guidance.
