Lots of new stuf

I added quite a lot of new stuff to my planet renderer

first i moved the noise algorythm from the cpu to the gpu the algorythm is still slow but it allow for the generation of 6 height map of 2048*2048 in less time then it took the cpu to generate a single 512*512 map




i also completed the implementation of the atmospheric scatering the parameter are a little unbalanced but i though it looked cool


I also integrated physic accurate with the mesh using bullet physics here is a short video





Sadly i had to disable the physic as bullet does not play wel with shape shifting mesh.

I was already out of warranty and I could hardly see myself calling Microsoft and telling them it was standing on a desk and the kick stand exploded I have no idea what happened. By the way the Surface support is incredible while I was covered I got two exchange for my tablet one because a firmware upgrade bricked the thing in the very early days and another because the keyboard connector stopped working again all those exchanges happened very early on, the whole exchange process was 3 days and shipping was covered. But now I’m there with a broken kick stand hinge and no warranty so I go to eBay to find the parts ... no luck the surface 1 the surface pro 1 the surface 2 and the surface pro 2 all use different hin...

New Procedural StarRendering and lots of stashed pictures

Image
  I Recently updated the star rendering system and though it was  good enough to show but while I was taking screen shots I realized I had quite a bit of screens I never upladed so here they are for comparaison. First those are using a hand crafted skybox                 this one is from the old method for star rendering       Welcome to the new one but right now clouds and nebulae rendering is disabeled on these
