Talus: a 23M-parameter diffusion model for game terrain, evaluated against a real-vs-real noise floor, running in the browser on WebGPU [P]
Talus generates 64x64 heightmaps (4 km, up to 1,200 m) conditioned on a terrain type and any subset of five measured properties: mean elevation, relief, mean slope, water fraction and spectral slope. I trained it from scratch on one RTX 5060 (8 GB), about 4.5 hours in total across versions. The dat…
