Grid of Points by Row and Columns

Procedurally build a grid of points by rows and columns.

Oops!

And YAPH

Procedurally build a map in orange peel segments. Start with triangles.

Oops!

Quads, again

Oops!

Now that I can find the column and row, I can pick a point randomly or by clicking inside the sinusoid. I can walk to a random adjacent tile and make it land or sea, blue or green, or use position to generate a seed for a not so random number and average them with adjacent heights and subdivide quads into triangle fans with vertices above or below sea level.

Sphere

Just splat out a hemisphere...

Oops!

Icosa

Procedurally generating an icosahedral grid

Orange Peel, Yet Again
