I believe my hypothesis is correct, in that the issues I am having are with the indexing of the verts as they are being loaded into and out of the quad tree.<\/p>\n

I have made some progress in solving\u00a0these issues, as can be seen in the below screenshots.\u00a0However, there are still some issues with vertices being placed incorrectly.<\/p>\n

At higher resolutions, the problem reoccurs, with visible distortion in the spherical terrain. Verts are either being rendered in the wrong order, or several tiers are still being rendered at once.<\/p>\n

I am confident that this is a fixable problem, but I will need to do more extensive debugging to solve it. I have written some code to save a list of the vertices to a file at several places in the code: At the beginning, when the vertices are first generated, When the vertices are loaded into the quad tree, and at the end, when the renderlist is populated.<\/p>\n

I can now compare them with WinMerge<\/a>, a very useful dif tool for comparing multiple files.<\/p>\n
