Deratuel

Everything that happened before 2020 simultaneously never existed and happened yesterday

I hate that I can't edit my posts to fix blatantly obvious mistakes

It's nice cause' instead of making a completely new technically impressive project I just shoddily copied the surface nets meshing algorithm from C# to js and then threw in a planet explorer and called it good

I did finally learn the basics of web development thanks to a computer graphics course of all things. deratuel.com now exists I guess. You can play demo version of 0xDEC's far future ability to go to different planets at deratuel.com/0xde3

(:

I want to make my game/devlog but finals are destroying me. Soon perhaps. Soon...

Obsidian graphs are so cool

Method is kinda hacky, since I generate skirts that extend on all sides in higher LOD, but it works well enough. Due to downsampling there is clear divides in materials chosen at farther distances, though I think that would be fixes when its a more "mature" implementation

OH MY GOD FINALLY!!!

Level of detail! Now to fix the seams between LOD rings...

It's turning out to be quite a challenge, since surfacenets is a "dual" algorithm. While I've tried generating skirts on each chunk, that is kind of a "hack" and doesn't look quite right when I've tried it out.

Hit a feature complete state for the first prototype, but after testing it out my laptop it desperately needs some memory management.

Sped up terrain gen quite a bit, though it’s still a bit slower than I’d like. Each chunk is 16x512x16, and it’s using surface nets in godot. Probably gonna get to work on the LOD system out beyond it next.

Another little progress update. I’d say I’m getting close to feature complete for my first devlog on it, though I’m pretty busy with school at the moment.

I ended up using surface nets, and it’s been quite the fun challenge to add terrain editing and other things.

Working on a game. I guess I’ll try posting about it in various places to slowly get visibility.

Right now it’s just some height map generation with Marching Cubes. I plan to move over to Dual Contouring next.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
