Ocean Planet
Ocean Planet LOD wireframe

Octree-based planet with FFT ocean waves (ported from GodotOceanWaves), hex-tile sampling to hide texture repetition, and plans to implement precomputed atmospheric scattering (Bruneton & Neyret).

What I built

  • Cube-sphere planet with quadtree LOD (the rainbow wireframes are LOD levels).
  • FFT ocean spectrum with multiple cascades, ported from GodotOceanWaves to Rust + Vulkan compute via Claude Code.
  • Hex-tile sampling of the displacement and normal maps to break up visible tiling at distance.
  • Plan is to implement precomputed atmospheric scattering (Bruneton & Neyret) for the sky and aerial perspective.
