Dual Contouring : Generate Terrain With Sharp Features

[arya3d]

Goal

generating a terrain with sharp features with Dual Contouring

Todo

• Implementing Octree
• Placing a vertex in each voxel in the right position
• solving the QEF
• Implementing dual contouring algo : Dual Contouring With Octree app-wasm#43
• creating seams for the chunks : Dual Contouring Seam Generation app-wasm#46
• adding LOD for each chunk and getting clean seems between different LODs : Dual Contouring LOD app-wasm#50
• adding biomes generation
• coding the ubershader logic ( to have different shaders for each biomes )
• using cached noise for the terrain to speed up the generation : Dual Contouring Cached Noise app-wasm#58
• generating the biomes weights based on geometric distance( WIP )
• creating a PR for biomes
• Procedural shading for the terrain #2761 (comment)
• adjusting temp and humidity noises
• creating a LOD planner which walks an octree to generate the settings for our set of lods
• making the geometry generation asynchronous (worker capable and geometry streamed)
• tracking the player
• Optimizing ( parallelize, optimize copies and gc, cache )
