Release 0.1.0

Release highlight - 3D mesh terrain using 2D heightmap approach

  • Fully adjustable terrain generation, highly parameterised.
  • Physics-based hydraulic erosion using particles.
  • Improved (by myself) simplex noise algorithm with more customisable gradients and random number generator.
  • Terrain generated using CUDA, make sure you have a CUDA compatible GPU, with compute capability > 7.5.
  • OpenGL 4.5 features are used, make sure your GPU can handle v4.5.

You will need the OpenGL library to run the program, see glad.c attached.

  • Multi-threading optimised.
  • Infinite terrain with tile-based mesh (instead of regular chunk-based), with massively reduced bandwidth overhead.

Future Plan

  • Add cmake support so it can be compiled on different platform and doesn't need to rely on visual studio.
  • Mutli-biome generation with minecraft biome generation algorithm (so-called "scaling algorithm"), with different parameters in different biomes. Currently in progress.
  • Volumetric terrain generation using marching-cubes.
  • Procedural planet generation.
  • Ray-traced shadow and reflection with optix7.
  • Volumetric cloud with ray-marching algorithm and voroni noise.

All source codes are clearly documented.
