Terrain generation and erosion simulation on a sphere.
This project implements this bachelor's thesis to work on a sphere's surface using the points of an IcoSphere as the nodes in place of a grid.
This project:
- Is based on
hexasphere. - Features wetness and river simulations to construct biomes.
- Takes some liberties in implementing the thesis to make it work with a sphere. I am working on a document detailing the mathematics needed to adapt the algorithm to a sphere.
- Is parallelized by rayon using atomic instructions to simulate atomic floating point numbers.
- Is nightly only, since I use Ralith's fast, ergonomic, and SIMD-enabled
clatterfor base terrain generation using simplex noise. - Will be updated as I use it or as feature requests come in.
Documentation is light but mostly complete. I am always happy to discuss how to use the library, feel free to message me or open an issue asking questions.
The project featured in this video is a separate (currently) private project which I intend to develop into a game.
This library does not do rendering, and mesh generation from the structures it provides is up to you.
