I was referring to earlier blog http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/BranoKemen/20090530/1564/Horizontal displacement.php Basically, the horizontal displacement modifies the mesh by displacing vertices in horizontal plane using fractal. The displacement is proportional to the terrain slope at that point. In that prior version of the algorithm I computed only the absolute, scalar value for the ...
This method modifies the depth in vertex shader, just after you multiply the position with modelviewproj matrix, so that's OK from the performance point of view. However there are artifacts near the camera when one or more face vertices lie behind the near plane. The problem is not so much ...
Well it could, but .. currently it's using real elevation dataset for Earth 76m resolution that is further refined using fractal algorithms. Nevertheless, the complete dataset is 14GB. We have implemented progressive download so it's possible to land in a location like these while downloading only some 40MB of data ...
Yeah that was me, and I've been pretty shocked myself .. like who posts this here .. omg, me :- And then the purpose of the attack wasn't clear to me, and I thought if it was angering the rest of the members against me .. well it's starting to ...
Thanks We are working to produce a downloadable demo first, hoping the feedback will also help us to decide further steps. Currently it's still basically a hobby project but everything looks really promising and we are considering the options just now.
