Asset - Demo Fast Terrain Demo

[Schyler]

My original fast terrain engine has now been updated to Game Maker: Studio and is available on the marketplace for free:
https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/5063/fast-terrain-demo

A demo showcasing a pr_trianglestrip method of generating terrain that is very performant. Gives great framerates. Moderately extensible -- terrain generation isolated to scripts and easily decoupled from demo environment.

Includes:

• Generates map from heightmap image (see obj_terrain Create Event to swap heightmap)
• Generation of texture co-ordinates, normals, full lighting with adjustable detail
• Some nice looking animated water that moves with adjustable level
• Earth box (edge of terrain is capped to prevent see-through)
• Water box (edge of water is capped to prevent see-through)
• Mouse to edge to pan
• Mouse wheel to zoom, hold shift to rotate view

I drink coffee. Whilst the asset is free, and there's no pressure to reimburse me, if you'd like to donate me a coffee, or two, please drop me a PM and I'll send you a donate link. Thanks.

Bump, this is my first asset and I'm learning about the marketplace.

Could someone be so kind as to leave a review?

That looks pretty good.

Hi,

Identified an issue with the macros not being exported to the marketplace correctly, thus it wasn't running properly. I have added instructions on how to work around the issue for now on the marketplace (a list of macros to set in your project).

Thanks
