My name is Soumitra Saxena. I'm in my prefinal year , studying Electronics Engineering at the Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences , Pilani , India. I've taken a keen interest in Computer Graphics/OpenGL for the last 2 semesters and am very excited to apply for GSOC under Crystal Space. Basic Terrain Generation has been a project of mine , both at a personal ( https://medium.com/code-adventures/cccf50e961a9) and academic level. I've also tried my hands on a basic planet generation using terrain maps ( https://medium.com/code-adventures/9df442973626). I've also done a bit of scripting and GUI implementation in Maya (toolkit for Cloud Generation) A GUI Editor for Terrain seems to be a fantastic addition to the Crystal Space interface. I thought of a rough prototype for a GUI Editor. Here is the rough map - A GUI Editor for Terrain - A 3D GUI Editor for Terrain , based on the flexibilities provided by the cseditor framework. Modelled on Maya's Editor for Fluids and Terrain (kind of) . Single iSpace with panels containing the Tools. Add flexibilities like toggle wireframe/textured , rotation , zoom , viewcube etc. Can even add quick view options like Isometric and Orthographic angles. The following tools can be provided for improved functionality , leveraging Crystal Space's terrain handling libraries. We are basically making an interface so that a new user feels comfortable with terrain generation and does not have to worry about the pipeline behind it : Tools to be implemented in the panels : 1. Generate Mesh tool : a.Set number of cells and size of mesh. b.Generate Flat Terrain with standard material and proceed to Edit it using the Terrain Edit Tools. c. Set Properties like Max Height , Mean height , Median height. d. Preloaded presets - Desert , Grassland , Ice 2. Generate Terrain tool: a. Load Heightmap and generate terrain , save values in the mesh to edit later. b. Set values like Max Height , weight and Resolution. 3. Material Properties : a. Set attributes like Material Color , Material Type ( Phong , Blinn etc) 4..Edit Mesh tool : a. Selectable points in the mesh using Mouse pointer . On click , 3D Transformation tool appears , user can use deformations. Add option of toggling off texture (display wireframe). 5. Paint Terrain tool : a. Splatting Textures - Select a splatting texture from a list of textures. Mouse cursor changes into the type of texture. Paint over the standard texture with the chosen texture. b. Choose from a variety of colors , terrain presets ( dust , grass , ice). 6. Add Object Tool (maybe): a. From a list of objects to add , choose the desired object to add on the terrain (e.g. Models of rocks , flora , fauna). (Drag and Drop interface.) I'm currently going through a couple of libraries ( libNoise) which could also be used for Coherent Noise generation , which can be used in the Generate Terrain tools to generate realistc terrains. *Please tell me what you all think about it ! All the Feedback is valuable !* Thanks a lot for reading !
