Back to working on my engine today, looking at a terrain level of detail system so the visible world can extend out to the size of a whole planet...
It's horrible to look at, but hey! #gamedev https://youtu.be/coJ07agTUP8
Some more on my C++ personal project this evening. I finally got the terrain editing functionality to work asynchronously 😊
Travelling this evening and doing some C++ bits and pieces on the train 🚂💻
sure, writing code is fun, but have you ever deleted a whole bunch of it?
I plan to turn this into an open source project once I've cleaned the code up a bit!
Spending a little more time on a personal gamedev project this evening. It's a C++ engine aiming to support large procedural worlds. It doesn't look like much right now though :)
Iceland has lost its first glacier to rising temperatures. Now, scientists are planning to install a memorial near the sad pile. https://earther.gizmodo.com/scientists-wrote-a-eulogy-for-icelands-first-glacier-lo-1836542745 #climateChange #ScientistsForFuture #FridaysForFuture
I updated my Mastodon profile with a new description and a link to my website, with a verification tick and everything!
Working on some updates and fixes for my personal website today. Hopefully I'll get back to my gamedev project this weekend too 😊
In my non-working hours, I'm a contributor to Crest. An ocean renderer built for Unity.
We recently released a new trailer for the LWRP version which is available on the asset store.

The version for the built-in renderer is open source and on GitHub at https://github.com/huwb/crest-oceanrender
Seems like there's a lot more people than last time I was here. Hi 👋
