Few niggles with gfx mem not being freed, fly mode not working properly and a crash on exit.

FWIW a few years ago I did some work on a random fractal landscape generator and renderer using MiniGL:

It had some rendering errors which I didn't manage to fix and the code was rather messy but maybe some day I will write an improved version of it that will actually be somewhat useful.

That is the Amiga version

SGrab has a bug which prevents it grabbing the borders of Qt windows, which I forgot about when I did the first two screenshots.

There's more info about it here: http://www.bottlenose.demon.co.uk/share/fracplanet/

As I say, flight mode isn't working, which is probably the most interesting bit, so I'll definitely fix that before releasing.

Wow, that's really impressive!

Thats looks amazing

...and if my eyes still like me i can spot a game character from your game project in there...true?

Shame on you!

You have this so cute software and you still keep it for yourself?

WOW!!

What kind of FPS you have achieved?

Nice base work for some:
-scenery generator
-FPS game
-flight sim
-rally game
-3d scorced tanks / artilery duel
-3d worms
-screensaver
-etc,etc...

What's you plan with the SW?

Wow, I didnt expect such a positive feedback. However, I dont want to hijack this thread, sorry for that.

It's a pseudo-Voxel engine using a heightmap and a 2D texture written in Amiblitz3.
For real Amiga HW, the implementation is too slow. Even on WinUAE, I get only 5-10 FPS in good quality. Such an Engine could be implemented more efficient, but this was my first 3D experiment. It some years old now and I dont have any plans for that (lack of time).

It doesnt have to be pure fractals, upon the fractals you can draw "man-made" elements.

double WOW!

Shame if your code is not put in good? use.
Perhaps you could open source it?

absolutely fantastic!
Any plan to release it on AmigaOS4.x? MAybe adding AmigaOS4.x native option for AmiBlitz3? I like very much AmiBlitz3 but was really annoing to cant compile OS4.x exes...

No apology required, it is all related so you're not dragging it off-topic. Actually I was looking for something more like your prog when I found fracplanet

Such things usually consist of a heightmap (a grayscale image where the brightness corrsponds to the height in the terrain) and a texture on top. The shadows are precomputed based on the heightmap and the sun position.

Put a skye dome at the horizont and some fogging, your done.
The technique is often referred as Raycasting, or 2.5D. This is the very same technique used in many voxel scene demo or in the Doom game serie. Probaly NemacIV as well.

Each vertical line on the screen is a trace through the terrain, starting from the cameras 2D coordinates.

Using Z-Buffering, it is easily possible to place 2D sprites in the terrain (like the game sprite someone spotted in some pics above).

The technique pretty simple and nothing groundbreaking, every skilled programmer can do that in a week or so. The nice look comes from the nice artwork.

I use perlin noise to generate the "fractals".
The "man-made" stuff in painted in ArtEffect.

For the perlin noise, I have written a tool called "PerlinFX". You can generate heightmaps as well as textures.

Yes I understood that so my question "Where can i download the Amiga version? as fracplanet is NOT on Aminet nor Os4Depot "

@Wanderer
Your work is awesome
Could you explain how you maded the reflection+shadow effect on the lake ?
Is it "only" the scene drawn flipped + surface maded as a transparent polygon textured with shadow texture

BTW It seems that Amiblitz + StormMesa2010 can works on Warp3D/OS4/PPC

In that case, the answer is "you can't"

I will release it when I get flight mode working, however if I look into it and decide that it is a Qt bug, I will probably release without flight mode working (which I figure will make it easier to fix in Qt)

edit looks to be a Qt bug - QMouseEvent X position is stuck at 1465188352 permanently.
