Sebastian Lague | Coding Adventure: Terraforming @SebastianLague | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 18 hours ago
I got a bit tired of my simple heightmap-based planets and decided to experiment with generating them using the Marching Cubes algorithm instead, so that I could add a 'terraforming' ability for shaping the world with caves and tunnels and so on. I hope you enjoy!
