[…]

Still lakes…

This is taking much longer than I wanted… Although I’m closer (and just found out I’m doing a lake every 4 cells), it’s still not good enough, the water doesn’t follow enough: The brightest points are the lake spawn points, but the water dies down too fast… I could do more iterations, but this takes […]

Custom voxel objects

Added the custom voxel object to the game today, which solves the problem I explained yesterday. The custom voxel object takes care of heightmap and of inserting the voxel map into the game. I’m still missing the props and the action nodes, but that’s easy to add at this point. Also added some functionality to […]

Merging custom maps

The way I’m building the procedural world is that I build a heightmap for the world, and then convert that heightmap into voxels, with special cases […]
