Terrain Side Project Video [Updated with 3 Adventure Videos]

Would a system like this support destructable environments? Would be interesting to have a game where you turn people to stone and then shatter them :stuck_out_tongue:

@pspeed yeah, cheers.



@zarch would combine fine I guess…



@aevun yeah it can, cool idea.

just wow! :slight_smile:

It's now done for now, I will for sure come back to this project in a little while.

:o surreal ^^

Looks really sweet. :slight_smile: You should get rid of the rocks floating in the air tho :stuck_out_tongue:

Beautiful.

You could potentially use the floating rocks thing to your advantage and just supersize it. Build a world like in the Dragon Hunters series/movie.



Gotta wait until about 30 seconds in to see the world… but I always thought it was kind of cool and your dramatic landscapes and floating rocks made me think of it:

Really cool stuff.

Found a still shot which is probably better:

Yeah I agree, given how the algorithm seems to create rather bizarre landscapes I think theres ways to work with that :slight_smile: Else you’d have to add some gravity/erosion passes I guess… But I really like the quality of this, its like a good riff for a song, theres something in there to carry further ^^

Today I made a start on a runtime j30 to voxel converter...

Whatcha using for SSAO on the model?

I run my own WIP system I adapted from somewhere (can’t remember of the top of my head), I did have some info / benchmark ss floating around which I looked for when your SSAO topic first popped up but I canna find em :confused: Anywho, the system runs very similar to what you would see in Frostbite 2 (Battlefield 3), runs ~2.5x faster than the standard JME ssao, however mine can cause some odd halo effects, both darkening and lightening around object so the occlusion is far less accurate. It does add a lot of definition to the scene, which I find more useful than accurate AO.
