  This week, I created a UI, implemented it and also created custom materials and shaders for the game. I also made some overall improvements to the project, so it runs pretty smooth in real time. I man... Continue reading
• Player-Input
  June 04, 2023 by Symetry#player-input, #input, #controls

  This past week I implemented two different ways the player can interact with the planets. One is a simple mode, where the player can orbit around the planet. The second one, the player can fly around... Continue reading
• Performance and Player-Input
  June 04, 2023 by Symetry#performance, #input, #player-input, #3d, #textures, #3dtexture

  This past week I spent my time on figuring how 3D textures work in Unity. Those textures will be used to create the sample-textures for the planets. Once I had those up and running, I started on think... Continue reading
• Compute Shaders
  June 04, 2023 by Symetry#compute-shaders, #shaders, #unity, #performance

  This week i wanted to figure out a way to patch those cracks on the mesh. But after a lot of thinking and talking about it with different people, I noticed that the cracks are only a visual problem, b... Continue reading
• Crack-Patching
  June 04, 2023 by Symetry#marching-cubes, #octree, #procedural, #planet

  This week I started looking into methods and algorithms on how I could fix the cracks in the mesh. The cracks appear when neighbouring chunks don't have the same resolution. So when one chunk already... Continue reading
• Implementing Marching Cubes
  March 19, 2023 by Symetry#marching cubes, #octree, #procedural, #planet

  Overview I started the week off by implementing the Marching Cubes Algorithm . Once that was up and running, I started refactoring the code, so that I can now have chunks (small parts of a bigger volu... Continue reading
