I have implemented smooth blending between surface textures. Now they blend with each other like in other game engines. Compare the next two screens - before and after the modification. The color change is due to blending of the grass level with the tree level.[bafg...
I have added support of clipboard: now any input field supports copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) hotkeys. So to find a planet which name has been shared on the forum, just copy it from your browser (Ctrl-C) and paste it in the Search-by-name menu (Ctrl-V).Also...

After 12 hours of continuous coding, I finally made that! SpaceEngine now have ability to bind keyboard buttons! ...
This is integration of this thing into SpaceEngine. Screenshots showing the map which I once made for Quake 3, loaded into SpaceEngine. There is collision detection of the camera and point particles with the walls, but the code is not completed yet. Particles are a...
Recently I've implemented some new landforms. "Procedural erosion" fractal based on this work.[bafg id="4258"]Another new landform, called "Jordan turbulence":Terraces:Something like mountain ranges:...
Yesterday I'd implemented the skybox exporting and procedural planetary textures exporting feature. Here I'll show examples of the interface dialogs and examples of exported textures. I've also added a new "projection" mode - the skybox mode.This is some procedural planet:And this is the skybox capture...
I started implementing procedural galaxies. This is not a 3D models of galaxies, but generation of billions of galaxies in an almost infinite space. Procedural 3D models will be the next step, and until then, all galaxies are using standard models.The first screenshot shows some...
I have almost finished the Map Mode for SE. It is similar to Google Earth, but with the ability of scaling from a single planet up to entire clusters of galaxies. Below are a lot of screenshots showing how to zoom out from a moon...
