<t>Hm, i wonder why it ended up like this.We were known for hackers and copyright ignorance, but a mass of spam is something new to me.For some context, mail.ru is more or less synonymous to e-mail here, and is about as popular as gmail is in the english world, so it's choice for spammers is not ...

<t>So much for all those 2 years of hype all right.The question i can't quite find an answer to - how typical is that drop?I would have expected pretty much any game to have a peak at launch, followed by a drop, and then, if a game is good, by an upwards trend.I.e. Pokemon Go have almost exactly the ...

<r>So, with all the noise about No Man's Sky making a good deal of people bitter and causing them to search for other sims, perhaps there is some quick mod i can add to Spaceway in order to quench the thirst?Like a resource mining/expending plugin along with a random animal generator plugin.It will ...

Ahem.That's the first new feature added into OGLA, way back in 2007 :)From shadow's point it does not make ...

For a start we don't have 'proper' textures, they are only per-vertex colour variations, not a texture in the proper term as far as I understand the terminology.<br/>

Yes, that explains the focus on mesh generation.In my case the vertices are all white and textures ...

which is slower in spaceway, generating the noise/height levels or generating the mesh?.<br/>
Not sure how to distinguish the two - the mesh is generated with the height/terrain.The time it takes to make the mesh (i.e. define the vertices, compute normals and rotate) is ...

What do you think to the idea of doing all terrain height and normal generation on the GPU using render to texture? Then do texture splatting in a shader using the height and normal maps?Does that side reasonable? Have you ever tried anything like it?<br/>

<t>Greeting everyone.Sorry if i'm not exactly up to speed, but my friend redirected me here while asking questions, so i thought direct talk would be more productive.In Spaceway there are 2 functions for each planet - elevation by 3D position and colour by 3D position.Colour function use the output ...
