Testing a method to blend objects into the terrain surface. This allows the terrain virtual texture and height to be sampled at pixels' world position and blended in to the object's texture. The terrain normal is computed from the height and also blended with the object normal.

This an engine feature!?

János Turánszki2 years ago

Not yet but it will be, the implementation has still some things that I don't like.

SÄME2 years ago

How expensive it is at the runtime?

János Turánszki2 years ago

It's not very cheap, for every pixel, I look up terrain chunk, sample it's heightmap, compute terrain uv, normal and blending, then sample all terrain surface virtual textures on top of the object's base material.

nice! what about multiplayer support, do you have it in the engine?

János Turánszki2 years ago

Thanks but there is not multiplayer support.

⚡️🇷🇺Russian stormtroops reached a key height near Kleshcheevka. Soldiers of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade gained a foothold in an important position and captured a Ukrainian soldier. Capturing the dominant height of 215.7 over the terrain will ensure a further advance towards Konstantinovka.

The Airbus Primary Flight Display (PFD) features a "rising ground" depiction (also known as terrain or brown/green topographical mapping) on the attitude director indicator (ADI). This provides pilots with improved situational awareness by visually representing rising terrain relative to the aircraft’s current altitude. During the final phase of an approach, as the aircraft descends closer to the ground, the lower portion of the display (representing terrain) gradually rises upward on the PFD. This "rising ground" effect delivers immediate, intuitive visual feedback about the aircraft’s proximity to the terrain, especially useful in low-visibility conditions. This rising ground presentation is driven by radio altimeter data, which measures the aircraft's height directly above the ground (or terrain/runway below). It is available during any type of approach (e.g., ILS, RNAV, visual, etc.).

I took a quick look at #CrimsonDesert Patch 1.04.02 and there’s a clear improvement to texture quality on distant objects. This is visible across all Texture Quality settings, especially the higher ones. However, this improvement isn’t free, VRAM usage is noticeably higher particularly at higher texture settings. The patch also brings a slight uplift in distant Level of Detail, but it mostly affects far-away objects and doesn’t fix or reduce the game’s aggressive pop-in closer to the camera.

id tech 3 shaders make water like this possible in a quake engine. the water shown here is simply additive blended textures that have either frame animation (surface, caustics) or multiple scrolling planes (waterfalls) which are lit (lightmap or vertex) and have soft, alpha blended edges. the caustics are just decals, and the water color is faked by tinting the world texture beneath the surface. the water assets account for around 4% of the game's current 70mb download size.

Big upgrade to my voxel engine: the height limit is now doubled. This means taller mountains, deeper valleys, and way more breathing room for the terrain generator to go wild. This change is PC-only for now. The Gamecube and Dreamcast are still capped at the original limit. They lack the horsepower for the extra height without further optimizations. The PC can handle more, so it's getting more. Simple as that.

Finally implemented texture blending on the terrain. The tile textures still need some work but it looks much better up close and gives me a lot more options than the giant single texture I was using for so long

Blended-NeRF: Zero-Shot Object Generation and Blending in Existing Neural Radiance Fields paper page: Editing a local region or a specific object in a 3D scene represented by a NeRF is challenging, mainly due to the implicit nature of the scene representation. Consistently blending a new realistic object into the scene adds an additional level of difficulty. We present Blended-NeRF, a robust and flexible framework for editing a specific region of interest in an existing NeRF scene, based on text prompts or image patches, along with a 3D ROI box. Our method leverages a pretrained language-image model to steer the synthesis towards a user-provided text prompt or image patch, along with a 3D MLP model initialized on an existing NeRF scene to generate the object and blend it into a specified region in the original scene. We allow local editing by localizing a 3D ROI box in the input scene, and seamlessly blend the content synthesized inside the ROI with the existing scene using a novel volumetric blending technique. To obtain natural looking and view-consistent results, we leverage existing and new geometric priors and 3D augmentations for improving the visual fidelity of the final result. We test our framework both qualitatively and quantitatively on a variety of real 3D scenes and text prompts, demonstrating realistic multi-view consistent results with much flexibility and diversity compared to the baselines. Finally, we show the applicability of our framework for several 3D editing applications, including adding new objects to a scene, removing/replacing/altering existing objects, and texture conversion.

VIDEO: It’s an inhospitable place, the terrain between Estonia’s capital and the Russian border. Cold, muddy, barren. But as the Mercian Regiment chief told us, this is “the reality” of warfare in this part of the world. A bit like “WWI with drones” he said. Prince William was told - this is the terrain British troops train in, in case Russian were to invade Estonia 🇪🇪

Fighters of the Security Service of Ukraine unit cleared Russian position and send POW to the rear on a ground drone. This method of transporting Russian POWs from the frontline to the rear has become quite common recently. Soldiers do not have to risk a long journey escorting Russian POWs in open terrain and can continue to perform their tasks on the front line with minimal delays.
