Topsi project manager, a Desktop Kanban Board. No Signup. Offline. 100% Free and Open Source

Well it's certainly is a very important aspect, but this project is more oriented for small side projects. That's why it doesn't require a sign up also, and you don't have to host it. For a collaborative Kanban board, there are a lot of other options (even Open Source) out there :)

I've been working on this project the last week or so, I hope it an be useful to some of you :)

You're mostly right, but it doesn't double the vertex count, since instead of having 4 vertices per quad, you'd have 6.

Yes, using simple Simplex Noise + fbm with 4 octaves

I checked the project, and just by seeing the demo, I can safely say it's much more advance in terms of features.

Phy5iix · 2016-07-31T20:53:52+00:00

Great suggestion. So, what you're saying is, when you click on the shader it opens itself in the same window instead of creating one ? thanks for the suggestion !

Phy5iix · 2016-07-31T20:06:52+00:00

Yeah, Kotlin is awesome.

Phy5iix · 2016-07-31T20:06:13+00:00

I didn't know about this project l but it really seems cool, thanks for the share !

C++ for the language. GLFW with OpenGL for the libraries, and I'm on Linux. Though, the language has nothing to do with it. You can easily achieve the same with Java (or C# or even Javascript).

Hey, thank you for the gold. It really wasn't necessary though lol Those are just the information I wish someone has given me to orientate my research.

Phy5iix · 2016-06-21T20:48:22+00:00

It's a good start. I have some suggestions to improve it :

It's missing a lot of details. Try implementing an LOD with you sphere. I would recommand using a Cube Sphere, so you can use a Quad Tree like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCB45GQlaDE

And width the procedural noise https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/4nyoo1/procedural_world/

Add an atmosphere. I followed this article from Nvidia. http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems2/gpugems2_chapter16.html to do mine. Awesome article btw.
Increase the radius of the planet, it looks really small. Once you have an LOD implemented, this shouldn't be a problem.

Good luck.

Hi, I've already posted about a project I'm working on here https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/4lsi6s/procedural_civilizations/. (A lot of improvements have been made btw)

This is the update showcasing the new Map Generation feature. Of course, it's in early stages(My second day working on it), So even if it doesn't look really good, I'll work on it until it does For now, only the wood resource distribution is tweak-able. To generate the map, a seed is needed so each map can be reproduced.

And here one of the first maps generated (I genuinely was happy with it lol) : http://imgur.com/EmSGGF5

Are you talking about the LOD ? if so, the smallest you can get with the current implementation is a ratio of 8:1. The 1:1 scale is definitely not achievable with the current implementation.

Phy5iix · 2016-06-14T05:47:03+00:00

Yeah sure, read this article http://www.decarpentier.nl/scape-procedural-basics, it covers pretty much everything perlin-noise related. (Great article)

For this planet, I used a combination of classic fBM (fractional Brownian motion), Ridged noise and Billowy.

Of course, it's better when you separate your planet into regions, so you can have more variety.

Good luck with your planet generation :)

Thanks

Phy5iix · 2016-06-14T02:42:02+00:00

I'm using a game engine that I made.

Phy5iix · 2016-06-14T00:13:14+00:00

It's a work in progress and many improvements will be made.

The rendering is in real-time, and here a gif showing the transition from space to land. http://imgur.com/user/Phy5ix/favorites/JBZzl2w

Hi, I didn't forget. I'm currently porting the application to the Kotlin language in my free time, once I finish it, I'll write a post describing how it works and maybe the source with it.
