Now explain to me how this is *not* just procedural generation rebranded to sound smarter than it really is.

you should decrease the density with altitude

Wait so this is a 3D tile map?

You mean I've been collapsing wave functions this whole time? 😮

Does this method work with rigged meshes?

Where can I download the plugin or copy the code?

Hi. I'm trying to display an image from an fpv-drone on a screen using opengl, although I have very little experience with this library. But I am succeeding! Now I need to display various dynamic information on top of the video image. This information consists mainly of text and numbers with some icons. An important requirement is to outline the text to make it easier to read. Thus, I need to display text in 6-8 zones across the screen, which can change with each new frame. Saving every millisecond is important to me. I have a question - should I try your code, or should I look for other solutions for this kind of tasks? Thank you.

I wonder how expensive the compute for a function like this would be on an original Game Boy. I'm a super novice programmer, but my dream is to build a game on the Gameboy in C that uses the principles in this video to generate randomized rooms. I want to make something like a Mystery Dungeon game.

Martin, I'm trying to blend two textures by using a procedural pattern to be the transition of a black and white drawn mask but I can't figure out how to rotate the procedural pattern to follow the angles of my drawn point. I'll post a link to the question forum for more information in the reply, also its in blender.

Is Godot good for mobile game development, especially for 3D games? Have you ever exported a game for Android? 🙋‍♂🙋‍♂

Bust du ein Berliner?

im doing a assignment where i gotta write a research on something in games and i chose atmospheres after seeing sebastian lagues one. my specific research is how are modern techniques optimising for realtime apps compared to raw ray marching

Can you make the meshes used to make that island open source so we can test our implementations?

Unreal contains sign distance fields for your regular scene. Can be queried in materials and maybe particle systems (cant remember). The metaballs/blobs could be implemented with regular meshes and a material. No raymarching. 'Prismaticadev' has a couple of vids about it.

How can I move the lava? Currently works but when add this Shader to a Mesh within a scene, then instance that scene as a child in my overworld scene it only works at the world origin!

love your work, even if I have to break my brain trying to update some of your projects to newer versions, still.... this is truly great

Any thoughts on how to gradually restore snow to its previous level? For example, due to a snowstorm?

Is there a reason to use a image and not an other text based file to export the animation l, like json or xml, won't the image be heavier?

its awesome thanks for your work

You are a legend!!!!! Always love your breakdown of Blender code 😊

This dude is doing game development with Blender 💀

hello yes, id like to order 1 boneless animation please

is there a way to dissolve uneeded geometry in godit once the map is finished? similar to dissolve planar in blender?

What a legendary video!! Thanks a lot!! One request, I would love for you to cover particle movement around a mesh surface by somehow saving the tangent based positions and offsets in a texture. Maybe sdf can come in handy for sticking to the surface? But not sure how to go about coding it in blender 😊 Plzzz

Thank you very much! I recently had a idea to incorporate anim textures in my project and was worrying about finding any good tutorials about the topic. Your video didn't only explain the theory but also showed the blender exporter. Brilliant!

Fantastic video! Very well explained

bloody brilliant thank you

I feel like this is a partial solution, though. There still isn't any attention paid to form and purpose to connecting those tiles together in the first place. Not an easy thing to do, but I bet the future will have something that takes this into consideration.

I could never wrap my mind around Wave Function Collapse until I saw this. Thank you

I think I'm going to try this for server side terrain cheat prevention such as clipping under the ground. I can have the server side player entity check the dot of its position against the normal of the nearest triangle of the ground collider then if its below a threshold it can teleport itself back up or even to an arbitrary coordinate like spawn or 0,0,0. Perhaps I can spread out the function over multiple server ticks if its expensive too. Or do it in compute or threads.

Hi Martin, I really love your videos and they're so insightful ❤️! I'm a beginner tech artist at the very start of my journey and I don't think I've heard about raymarching until now 😅 I guess my question would be: how do you even begin to look for a solution to something like this, if you wouldn't have known about the concept? And if it's supposed to be common knowledge for a TA.. can you recommend any resources on sort of "here's what you should know about this topic" kind of way? (At least to mention the subjects, i guess it's easier to dig then if you know what you're looking for) Or how do you learn new stuff as a TA? It feels like there's so much out there it's confusing to know where to start 🥲

So good! thank you for explaining this so clearly to a dumb 3d artist such as myself.

Is it possible to rotate them based on uv center?

Can someone explain why he marked, only one side with 0f. That other side where 0 also will fit with mirrored version..

Actual topic aside, this might be the most incredible informational video I have ever seen. The information density is extremely high, yet at no point did I not understand what was going on, or feel the need to pause or rewind.

good explanation. Highly appreciated.

This is an amazing anger as I'm unsure how to adjust it so that objects to take up. Multiple cells are able to be accounted for. Is anyone able to to give advise?

This is an exceptional video. Thank you for making this!

I'm new to godot and maybe I missed something but I cannot figure out how the GRADIENT portion works at the end of the video. Is this a separate node I need to create myself and somehow plug into this shader? Thank you for the video, it was fun to follow along

Watched more than 3 hours of implementations and explanations about wave function collapse, Can confirm that this one was the best from every aspect, Thank you!.

As you mentioned, adding weights is important for a more practical usage. You can go a different direction if you really lean into depending on weights. You can have cells that are not adjacent weigh in on what cell type a cell should be. This can help limit behavior like too many house cells or never having a large ocean, since you can have ocean cells make other ocean cells very likely to be chosen if they are nearby or in certain land/ocean patterns. You could even add a property to your ocean cells indicating the depth, which affects the probability of other cells (no land cells within X cells of a X-hundred foot deep ocean cell).

it worked on my blender made terrain, but trail is flipped on other, downloaded terrain why would that be?

Same result with the game Minesweeper.

imma use it in godot 4

where is blender script link

I saw the Bad North inspired island generation in the thumbnail :) Love the game! I can understand why Oskar is so stuck on the idea (He keeps going back to it on Twitter)

The multi layer distance field blew me away

shitass simple algorithm named like some new quantum mechanic exploits

Wow, your content is next level!

Why is it called wave collapse though, just for it's conceptual similarity to quantum stuff
