Don’t know if Infinity Ward or its former leaders were to blame for this…

interesting progress you have made. i am getting close to a similar point in my own attempt. i was wondering, how do you identify patches in the request queue? What error metric do you use to determine when a split/merge is needed? Is this done recursively or can each patch lod level be determined individually without neighbor queries?

Hi Dave,

first of all: Very nice work!

I’m currently working on a planetary rendering system for a game I’m working on.
Since I can not figure out how to generate a fractal texture for the heightmap and use it in my geoclipmap engine,
I started searching the web and found your blog.

I read your postings with pleasure and now I’m wondering, whether you could send me your source or at least some snippets of
the generation of your fractal patches. If this is not possible, could you explain me how you create them and implement the
“viewing frustum fractal patch” relation including the distance related increase of detail?

I hope my kind of funky english makes some sence to you

Best regards – Sven

You should have your sound developer check out Liquid Mind (an alias for Chuck Wild, Los Angeles-based composer/producer/instrumentalist).
