I have been quite busy with various things in the last few weeks, but I have finally found some time to clean up and upload the code of the OpenGL terrain render demo<\/a> to Github<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since this was intended as a programming exercise I have not tried to be very elegant or correct during the implementation, so expect things like error handling to be a bit rough around the edges, but otherwise I think the code should be easy enough to follow.<\/p>\n

Notice that I have only tested this on Intel GPUs. I know it works on NVIDIA too (thanks to Samuel and Chema for testing this) but there are a couple of rendering artifacts there, specifically at the edges of the skybox and some “pillars” showing up in the distance some times, probably because I am rendering one to many “rows” of the terrain and I end up rendering garbage. I may fix these some day.<\/p>\n

The code I uploaded to the repository includes a few new features too:<\/p>\n
