I have made a lot of progress with this project. I am currently attempting to render the terrain with six quad trees, one for each face, with every single node being a quad, and not a tri.<\/p>\n

Rendering from six quad trees was actually surprisingly easy, however, I have run into serious problems when trying to render the terrain using quads instead of tris.<\/p>\n

It seems that there is some kind of serious pre-existing bug that I didn’t notice before in the code. This bug is causing gaps to appear between the individual faces of the spherical terrain.<\/p>\n

Fixing this involves modifing the very complex equations at the heart of the terrain rendering, which is taking a lot of time.<\/p>\n

However, this bug would have needed to be fixed anyway, and implementing quad rendering is necessary for the next step in the project.<\/p>\n

I have also significantly optimised and cleaned up the code, while working on this bug, which is also something that would have had to have been done.<\/p>\n

The code is now more streamlined, neat, and efficient.<\/p>\n
