Big planet terrain stuff. Building https://geomancer.kenny.wtf, a #procgen google earth for your fantasy worlds.
Frustum-culling now comes standard in the #HelloTerrain system~

Heightmap compute stage: done ✅
Normal map compute stage: some flashing, overwriting index issues? 💥
Texture splatting stage: todo
already feels very fast compared to previous implementation, huge terrains running at 60-120fps

We've just finished another iteration on Tides! This one took three months to do. @gmodarelli.com's renderer is more GPU driven and I have gotten a long way on the release's gameplay goals!
We have a more stuff we wanna do and then release something playable in December!

After switching to a huge lazily-generated map, the villagers' ability to dig/fill the terrain was broken, and I finally fixed it! It updates terrain chunks on all LODs, so that large-scale actions are seen from far away.

Once again trying to add distance fog (aka fake atmospheric scattering). Idk, it would probably be nice if I was making a google earth clone, but here it just feels off, all these vibrant colors being purposelessly hidden. What do you think?

its very funny because obviously we dont live in a country that allows us to have a show like this, thats the whole point

wheeee, it mostly works in react-three/fiber, with updating the params in real time

My #webgpu compute shader terrain engine now can make LODs from a quadtree, at about 0.2ms (only when the quadtree needs to resolve, not each frame!). Next step is to use that data to generate normals and texture splats. Users can simply pass in an elevation function!

Oh yeah this is feeling nice and slick. Going to make it easy to read from all those compute shader buffers

The default planeGeometry from #threejs has this quirk in the vertices where if you pull down the outer ring to make a skirt (a way to hide terrain seams), you would get this little alcove from a crossing edge
Made a new geo has four-way symmetry to fix it, it's pretty~

the point is you should insist that your representatives improve your material wellbeing by investing in this very important human infrastructure because motor vehicle transport is the worst possible way to organize society
1. I think it's difficult for people not in the US to appreciate how absolutely non-useful/condescending "use a train" is as advice. Where I live, the nearest passenger train station is 90 miles away, in Cincinnati. However, there is a bus from Dayton to that train station, a mere 43 miles from me.
To be frank, this seems veeeery american. I am in Ukraine, and even with the war, you can drive for more than a 1k km... BUT NOONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND DOES THAT USE A GODDAMN TRAIN U MORON or something like that.
