Infinity Generation vs L3DT

Infinity Generation's Infinity Engine supports runtime procedural generation of worlds, terrain, vegetation, planets, and other content for games and applications. Infinity Creator is a visual development application with a node graph and 3D scene viewer. Its noise tools are based on FastNoise2 and include Perlin, Simplex, Cellular, and other types. Generated scenes, models, and textures can be exported for use as assets.

The engine is described as compatible with Unity, Unreal, Godot, or custom game engines. Its C++ SDK and API support integration into existing projects, and developers can build custom procedural components for node graphs. Those components can call AI models to enhance dynamic content generation. The Free Alpha plan costs nothing and provides full software use during the Alpha period. Products using Infinity that make over $100,000 in annual gross revenue are subject to a 1% royalty. Creator lists Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and requires a Vulkan 1.1-capable graphics card; macOS and Linux are described as coming soon. Free Alpha support is best-effort through community and email. Enterprise includes priority direct support, with price not listed.

L3DT is a terrain-generation and editing application for game developers and digital artists creating large 3D worlds. Its design map lets users define terrain characteristics and effects such as altitude, roughness, lakes, climate, erosion, terraces, cliffs, and volcanoes. A 3D heightfield editor provides mouse-driven brush tools. L3DT generates ground textures, alpha maps, and light maps, including shadow casting and bump mapping. The free Standard Edition supports heightfields and texture maps up to 2049 × 2049 pixels. Professional editions support larger maps through disk paging: heightfields up to 131,072 × 131,072 pixels and textures up to 4M × 4M pixels. Professional Indie costs $34.95, paid once; Professional Commercial costs $149.95, paid once. Both include two years of free upgrades. Formats include BMP, JPG, PNG, TGA, DDS, OBJ, COLLADA, Terragen TER, and Virtual Terrain Project BT, with GeoTIFF import. L3DT supports plugins, custom filters, and Python and ZeoScript scripting through plugins. It is a Windows application; Linux use through Wine is recommended for testing because bugs may occur.
