| Nov 7, 2017 at 11:52 | comment | added | Basic | I'm still unconvinced. Why have 30+ layers of known-useless processing? It's not elegant, let alone efficient. I take your point about time to walk across, but we're simply talking about terrain generation. Nothing that says I have to center at the origin, nor that flying at high speed is impossible (although I wouldn't be meshing at that speed!). FWIW I'm using doubles internally to avoid that precision problem. | |

| Nov 7, 2017 at 3:18 | comment | added | Basic | Thanks for answering. I can't just pick a massive initial volume as my terrain is infinite (that's my goal). Watch the video to get an idea. As such, my tree of nodes would just get ever-higher. Assuming small nodes are rock-scale, that would mean potentially dozens if not hundreds of levels as I travel across a continent.
