Building Asteroids

Posted by: globbe on: April 7, 2009

Using 3 dimensional mid-point displacement (diamond-square) to create asteroids out of spheres:

Subdivisions: 4
Elevation: 26
Iterations: 1000

Subdivisions: 4
Elevation: 26
Iterations: 500

Subdivisions: 4
Elevation: 63
Iterations: 500
Midpoint displacement can be slow depending on the resolution(subdiv) and the number of iterations, but for the quick generation of low-poly asteroid shapes it is an easy to implement, viable model. :)
Update:

Of course planets are [...]

Unit testing internal methods

Posted by: globbe on: January 12, 2009

Here’s a little gem.
Most people like to keep their unit test assemblies and code separate from the code being tested (maintainability is such a nice thing). This however raises the issue of how to write tests for methods and classes that are marked internal.

Windows 7

Posted by: globbe on: January 12, 2009

Ok, so I pulled the previous post on Windows 7 since it didn’t really make much sense. Instead I will write up a little review of my experience setting it up and running it, when time so permits.
In the mean time, let me just say that I am impressed and pleased with the whole experience [...]
