Year 2250: the first galactic sector is mapped and new worlds marked for terraforming. Six noise-driven layers build every planet without a single external texture.

Terra Nova

A speculative atlas

Terra Nova is set in 2250, after the first galactic sector has been mapped and new worlds marked for terraforming. Each generated planet offers a view into that imagined survey.

Six procedural layers

Six layers driven by noise build the planets without external textures. The live work allows the viewer to move through the environment, change its colour palette, toggle groups of layers and rotate the view. The fxhash collection contains 255 iterations.
