It looks like the terrain is rendering correctly at a realistic planetary scale now. There are still some issues with it, but those should be solved when I reintroduce subdivision to the terrain.<\/p>\n

I am culling most of the nodes that are outside of the players view, and I am noticing no real issues with rendering.<\/p>\n

The next goal is to verify that the planet is actually at the correct scale, and that the player can move around it in world space.<\/p>\n

I intend to do this by manually setting the 64-bit player position values to various key points around the world, it, the center of the 6 sides of the quadsphere.<\/p>\n

There is a lot more work to be done here, but I think I have proof of concept of a very large terrain, assuming the testing I am about to do goes well.<\/p>\n
