This is progressing nicely. I chose a catmull-rom spline for the river curve works now, but I have not yet applied any noise to it. That will be done when the basic stuff works.

The terrain brush works […]

Hmm. This alpha stuff is even more complicated. As it turns out, the grass looks much better with a level of increased transparency, while certain plants gets a nice coverage using the algorithm and some don’t. […]

I didn’t specify this, but the system is supposed to be run once (or once every time the parameters are changed), then the data should be saved. It creates a new heightmap and splat map. It then creates a […]

I guess its kinda hard to implement so that its usable for anything but terrain editing really which would probably not justify bloating the api itself with such things. Maybe thats better done with […]

…yes, I suppose I should have at least included a screenshot. Since iamcreasy kindly took care of that (thank you), I’ll take care of video. Uploading now, will edit into first post.

I also suppose that I […]

@momoko_fan
Sure, it just needs to be cleaned up etc. Also I’m using code directly translated from the nvtt2 source, so I’m not sure how that would work with licencing etc. Gonna have to look that up.

Perhaps you can submit a patch so that the mipmap filter can be included in core?

Yeah that stuff sounds more like what those particle systems does. This will be a somewhat cheap approach with simple generation and shading. It will be good enough for the nature scenes and stuff that I’m trying […]

Erosion would need to be able to carve a bit deeper and make real valleys for that to really work though.

Interesting stuff

Would be really interesting if you could place a few “springs” on the terrain and it would automatically run the water downhill from there and erode/join them until they find other water […]

Cool stuff.

Been devloping the directed graph concept a bit more. I think I have outlined this project pretty well, and I’m soon ready to start working.

River placement

This is how a river graph is formed.

First – […]

@pspeed

Curious: did you remember to set the number of samples on the filter post processor?

No I didn’t, and it works great when I do. Thanks (again).

Also good news for anyone thinking about using […]

Am I the only one who sees a Creeper as the “crosshair”? lol

Nice game!

on behalf of @knucklesandwich I am posting some screen shot.

very nice some screenshots would be good

Screenshots always are. Or even better, video!

very nice some screenshots would be good

Also there’s a problem when using post processing filters. The filters interfere with the opengl multisampling, which alpha to coverage depends on. Gonna look into that next.

Curious: did you […]

The transparency works well now. Again, alpha to coverage will be used for the high quality stuff (which I need), but it is hard to use. You need to do several things to make it work, especially with the foliage […]
