My screenshots :)

All I can say is: WOW!!!

Q:What does a derived class in C# tell to it''s parent?
A:All your base are belong to us!

ops,i haven't said that it also too SLOW to be used in game now.
1..3 FPS .(actually,comparing to most terrain renderers,it's very FAST as some non-realtime-graphics-programmer said )
I just tried to make it looks better and ran out of CPU speed. Some day i will do it on GPU .....

and this shot is post-processed 4Kx3K image that was resized down and i can't do 4Kx3K on decent speed(it's 10 SPF or so).

that looks pretty tight, just one question though: how did you do that hazey fog stuff?

[~aussie]

It''s almost actual volumetrics .
Of course i don''t store voxel grid as 3D array,but it''s like that.

I wrote small _slow_ experimental renderer of shaded volumetric clouds,and maybe,i will be able to do it fast.

I think i can write paper about it,but time....

Now with more sodium! Err... I mean... Sweet Jesus!

Take that, and put it in to a Terragen-esque program, and you will be my god.

Would this be difficult to implement in hardware?

Wow this is cool! I even like the air

By the way, Yann''s away for the weekend, last I heard, so don''t expect anything till Monday

That's great! I set the one you posted here as my wallpaper. Do you have any high-res snow ones? I would prefer a snow one for my wallpaper.

Edit: Found one Helps if I actually look on the site properly.

Holy crap. You amaze me.

If Yann sees it, he will say: They look OK :D
I remember him saying that when I posted some screenshots from Dragon Empires last year :D

The technical appreciation is beyond me. But the screenshots look really good!

They do look really good, but you should decide what you want to focus on:
Real time engine, or non real time. Right now, there are better looking non real time renderers, and faster, equally better looking real time renderers.

Figured I should do the posticon.+

Wow,how many replies! Thanks!
i''m moving my site,

http://dhost.info/dmytry/voxelworld/images.html

I hope it faster than old.(i just can''t mantain my old site because of it''s speed)

I know. I did decision several months ago-keeping going to quality till it will be good enough,then optimizations and GPU to make it fast enough.

and can you show realtime examples?

I actually started from realtime blockly landscape renderer and then i did many things to make it look better,but tried to keep it fast.I almost successed.I need just only _one_ order of magnitude,damn.It''s 100..500 times faster than most non-realtime engines.

My current engine just can''t normally handle overhangs(best non-realtime renderer _should_ have overhangs),and next time i will do completly new non-realtime engine(minutes and hours per image,that''s non-realtime) that will be able to do everything.
I did some experiments



if no image



if no image



if no image

and maybe in next year,if everything will be OK....

I know good non-realtime renderers(imho best non-realtime renderers: MojoWorld and Terragen ) but don''t know too much about good realtime ones.

I have an idea...

Would you be able to wrap this "draw" procedure into ONE function then bundle it as a DLL?

i certanly can,but there are _many_ parameters(image size,sun angle,terrain,texturing parameters,etc)...

shortest command script:
renderport 1000,1000; set image size
render;

renders default world at default position with everything by default.
