Title: Plasma fractal landscape Post by: Tglad on January 06, 2012, 08:46:52 AM You might be interested in this, it is a software renderer I wrote which renders points (squares) rather than polygons. The landscape is built using a diamond-square plasma fractal and the rocks are built the same way.

You can play the demo on windows by downloading it here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B8S7Si-yu3DoYzkxYTYwMjItZWQwYy00ZGNlLTk4MWQtM2UzMGZmMjY3OTRk&hl=en_US&pli=1 (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B8S7Si-yu3DoYzkxYTYwMjItZWQwYy00ZGNlLTk4MWQtM2UzMGZmMjY3OTRk&hl=en_US&pli=1) Title: Re: Plasma fractal landscape Post by: knighty on January 06, 2012, 05:19:50 PM Nice one.
