Large terrain 94 #104

Closed kateyy closed 10 years ago

kateyy commented 10 years ago

Contains everything mentioned in #94:

larger landscape (looks quite realistic =) )
navigation limited to the terrain extents (- view distance)
terrain blended to the sky color at the horizon (we really need a skybox!)

Also includes smaller performance improvements, but we have to check that again after #86 (current implementation with getPixel is expensive..), that's why i would remove the interaction performance counters for now

Wow, this is so impressive that the current water particle effects look extremly minor :D

Does anyone know, why the hand is "jumping" when moving around the terrain? (Or is it just me?) Maybe it's because of the height-differences and a (just a little bit) flatter terrain would ease that effect.

The initial camera perspective looks extremly atmospheric and would benefit from (even a simple) sky box.

We don't use sand textures anymore until the transition between textures works without sharp edges?

For the hand, see #86, i just added a (short) comment there. We should fix this before the demo.. And fore the textures and elements: i will add some in a few minutes =)

Okay it's not the hand that slows us down, but the terrain rendering. So let me try to fix this before the merge...

Looks very nice, especially the texture transitions.
