Search for a good algorithm
Author Manuel Lucas Viñas Livschitz  Last update 2002-12-12  English
Version 3.0 (beta) Search for an algorithm that allows a changing 2.5D surface to be rendered in real time in most fastest way, with polygon count reduction only. To archive this, the input data is bidimensional matrix with height values and no additional data.

3.1. Second release results

The result need some time but now It works fanstastically. All about the algorithm is secret but the results archived are espectacular, high frame rate and..... no tree, ... that is the tree is implicit in the algorithm. You can change points at realtime without any extra charge. NB: Fog was used to erase the edges of the map (they doesn't look pretty).
