## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper explores the use of 2D cellular automata (CA) to generate 3D terrains through a simple additive approach. Experimenting with multiple CA transition rules produced aesthetically interesting, navigable landscapes, suggesting applicability for terrain generation in games.
