3D terrain visualization program which loads a terrain map file containing unsigned chars. The terrain switches to a half resolution version based on the distance from the viewer. The boundaries between the full and half resolution terrain are “stitched” so that no “holes” are visible in the terrain. The user may navigate through the scene using keyboard and mouse input.
The ground is procedurally generated using a random midpoint method and smoothed using a neighborhood smoothing filter. The trees were generated by different procedural rules. The scene uses OpenGL material and lighting.
Created using the Unity Game Engine for the company Sandboxr. I was hired as a Graduate Research Assistant to help the company create its application. The founders wanted an application that would allow them to import 3D objects that they would then arrange in 3D space. Password: sandboxr
