LWJGL 3D Terrain
Click a tab to play this game!
This is a basic test and demo using LWJGL to draw a 3D randomly generated terrain. It utilizes the new OpenGL 3.3 shader-based rendering code and all code should be compatible with any video card compatible with OpenGL 3.3 or newer.
Look for upcomming tutorials and hints/tips for this demo as well as other Java-related posts at http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com/blogs/helloworld922/.
Minimum Requirements:
OpenGL 3.3 or newer
128MB video memory (estimated)
Controls:
WASD: move the camera forward, backwards, left, and right
Z/X: Move the camera up and down
Q/E: Roll the camera
Left click: Rotate the camera (hold down and move the mouse)
Escape: Reset view to start view
Update 1.1:
Changelog:
- Made an applet version
- Lowered demo app default height map resolution to 512x512
- Switched to triangle strips for rendering (reasonable speed boost)
- Switched to a tile-based rendering scheme (hope is to have frustrum culling implemented at some point in the future)
- Fixed load stall
- No more webstart version
- Various minor tweaks and fixes
