I’ve been working through Sean O’Neil’s procedural planet code – slowing trying to pick it to bits and port it a XNA environment… I had a certain level of success… but then sadly hit some walls.

I’d really love to pick your brain! Or possibly see some code if you’ve given up on the project…. hopefully no harm in asking! I was just incredebly impressed!

I am rather interested in working with your code. I have been devloping a game that takes your concept of Orbital to Plante-side movement. If you plan to release the code or provide snippets, please let me know.

It isn’t anything commercial either – mostly just a learning experience for me. As far as releasing the source code goes, I would want to spend a lot of time cleaning up code before doing that. It’d probably be better to do a series of blog posts on it rather than releasing it all as is. I’ll give it some thought.

I too am curious if this is an active project for a commercial implementation, or just something you were doing for personal interests and if you might at some point share the code?

It seems there are a number of varying implementations out there dealing with terrain, but many are not C# and / or XNA based.

That looks really interesting, though you haven’t posted any updates for about a year, i was just interested if you are still working on this project.

Thanks,

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
