It's starting to come together nicely. Loving it ! 🥰

The advantage of using Substance Designer for building textures: using the height-map as a blending mask to make terrain/tiles transition for free.

Each time I want to build a new transition I just need to plug two materials together in a filter. :D

Haha, that made my day ! 😀

For example I store in Red and Green the center of each tile so that I can scale it up/down to hide the tiles seam because of the texture sampling.
Texture are simple enough that I don't need padding in them at all.

My python toolset parse the Tiled json file, build the mesh in a lua file, which I simply load at startup. And voilà !
UVs are directly set properly and I can use vertex color to get additional data.

Technically I ditched the idea of using a screenspace shader pass and went back to using dedicated polygons.
The nuance is that I precompute the mesh for each map, instead of using a generic mesh.

Finally made it work !
I'm walking on my map, yeay !

I made only the base layer work for now, next are the other layers. Then it will be collisions.

Can someone remind me again why I'm paying for Houdini ? >_>

Alright, I always struggle with math but I'm finally making progress here. I'm finally able to draw my tiles index image in a single screenspace pass now, at the right size ! :)

A bit sad to see it's the end of Reset. I was really looking for it, it got me hooked since its first teaser. http://reset-game.net/?p=805

Also the first project I'm aware that what using PBR ?

Of course, I had to put some Chromatic Aberration in the blur pass. ;D
That blur pass is now the heaviest part of the post-process system, more than the bloom itself !
