TERRAIN TEXTURE SPLATTING?!

[Thundros]

Hi, @FarazzShaikh ! First off, I'd like to say : BRILLIANT work! Please keep up the GREAT work! I LOVE IT! <3

Second, can you please add texture splatting to terrains & the ability to save the new textures onto the model itself?

Once again, give yourself a pat on the back for me because THIS demo is AWESOME! <3

[FarazzShaikh]

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

I was starting to work with textures but I can’t find a good and simple PNG parsing library. If you know any It’ll really speed up the process of adding texture splatting.

@FarazzShaikh : You are absolutely welcome! :) Here is a good PNG parser library :

Thank you but, I’m looking for a static library with ES6 Imports. I might have to write it myself :(

[Thundros]

@FarazzShaikh : What do you mean exactly?

[FarazzShaikh]

I mean I don’t want core libraries to be node modules

[Thundros]

You can write it yourself?

[FarazzShaikh]

I shall try

@FarazzShaikh : Hi! Any luck?

[FarazzShaikh]

Hello! I’ve made the decision to Port the application over into React, as it’ll offer me great flexibility for adding more features as well as incorporating npm packages. After that’s done I can easily implement Texture Splatting and Height Map Export. Thank you for your patience but it will take a month or so. Thank you again.

@FarazzShaikh : No, thank YOU for doing it! <3

[Thundros]

@FarazzShaikh : Also, when you do get it working, here is a couple examples to use :

@FarazzShaikh : Hello, brother! Any luck? :) HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY btw! <3

[FarazzShaikh]

Hello! I’ve decided to take a break from the project due to burnout, I will be sure to notify you when I return to it. Thank you :)

@Thundros Good News! Texture Splatting will be implemented in a release in V2! I have switched to using GLSL Shaders to handle the displacement and texturing, resulting in MASSIVE speed boosts and the ability to implement Texture Splatting. Hope you are still looking forward to it. 😄

[Thundros]

@FarazzShaikh I am indeed looking VERY forward to it! When can I test it? <3 This is EXCELLENT news! <3

[Thundros]

@FarazzShaikh : When are you adding texture splatting? I am SO excited & overjoyed to test it! <3

[FarazzShaikh]

@Thundros i am planning to implement a node based terrain generation system in the next major release - v3, I need to sort out the actual terrain generation first before tackling texturing. I will let you know through this thread when it is released.

Feel free to fork the latest release and and play around, I'd accept a PRs introducing new features. 😃

@FarazzShaikh : Any luck with texture splatting using RGBA image to be able to draw textures onto terrain in paint program?

[FarazzShaikh]

@Thundros Sorry 😞 I have not been getting a lot of time to put into this in between university and life but i am working on version 3 this winter (currently) and will release it as soon as its done. It will include big changes like a node based terrain editor instead of the clunky sliders, this will mean that terrain splatting will hopefully be possible. Thank you 😄

@FarazzShaikh : Long time no speak! Have you had any time to implement Texture splatting?
