I believe that I have now, finally, solved the issues that I was having with planetary distance scaling.<\/p>\n

There were some additional performance issues that I needed to solve, and some logical issues that needed to be fixed, but the system now seems to work quite well.<\/p>\n

The transitions between tiers will likely need some work, and Tier-2 may need additional subdivision within it as the player approaches the planet, but I think I have done enough for MS2.<\/p>\n

I have also solved some problems relating to the correct scale of the planet given it’s distance and level of detail.<\/p>\n

The next goal should be the last major goal of MS2. This is basically to put everything together by combining the 64-bit and 32-bit “spaces” and doing extensive testing to make sure that the “snapshots” that I am taking of 64-bit space are correctly mapping out the world. I will need to look at player movement in 32-bit space, and make sure that the user can actually adjust their world space distance (and the world snapshot) correctly. I will also need to move and scale the planet correctly based on the players combined world and local space position.<\/p>\n
