The Eden Project

I am still chipping away on this, life (ok, fun music stuff) has just been getting in the way a bit this year.

I also managed to get myself tangled up a bit trying to do some new tricky stuff in the galaxy class, but I finally managed to separate that out of the way into it's own class tonight. So hopefully that will let me get some movement happening on this again now.

placed any more thought on setting this up on the market?

Heh heh, well I was thinking about bundling this all together with my planet stuff, but I'm starting to think I should look at releasing this as it's own product.

It's almost finished too, just have to clean the code up a wee bit, and add in random star system stats (i.e. how many planets, what size, what type etc).

Do you think this is the sort of thing that would make a good marketplace product? (assuming it was easy to use).

If so, how much do you think people would be happy to pay for it?

For planet generator, I would pay anywhere between 50-100$ (assuming it will include source code).
For the galaxy generation can't say I personally don't see much use for me as of now (;.

I would pay for it if it was on the marketplace -

As for how much I do not know - 40 dollars minimum I know that for sure.

Also got a bit of a question or a few -

With the random Star System data would it be possible to make it so that we can access the data (via BP or C++) to generate maps with that data via tags or other method?

Aight. Made a video to show off the pretty flying through galactic dust clouds (dark bits) stuff:

Yeah. Im not jealous at all!

[Mr_SquarePeg]

I have not looked at this thread in a while. Really cool stuff is still happening.

Added in "galactic dust"... looks pretty good...

[ioFlow Studios]

Wahoo, new video day:

This one is demonstrating in editor display of star system names (via a markov chain name generation algorithm)

[AlonzoCPO]

Absolutely Stunning!

It's so easy to use it's fun just making random stuff...



Main problem is performance (of course).

Apparently volumetric fog doesn't do occlusion culling so it has to voxelize every box in your scene even if they're all behind you

[AlonzoCPO]

Ah, Im incredibly interested!

(as if I can get any more interested in what your doing haha)

Another quick youtube, testing a smaller nebula in side the larger galactic cloud...
