Here’s a query I actually need to know the reply.
Accomplished in unity ?
I imply, after a bit of intensive analysis : ( instance of what I discovered )
https://www.redblobgames.com/x/1843-planet-generation/
https://experilous.com/1/weblog/put up/procedural-planet-generation
I checked and succesfully managed to get a hexasphere operating on a challenge.
Checked the Catlike coding tuto on procedural meshes (https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/procedural-meshes/icosphere/)
Checked some gamedev math ( primarily trigo, angles and many others … ) ( all of
Freya Holmér math serie for some math notions I used to be lacking :

And a variety of different locations & experiments .
From what I get to this point :
It look awfully like a latitude longitude mapping.
However how do you challenge the grid on the sphere with out having to retailer every “sq.” in reminiscence ?
How do you handle to have diffèrent résolutions on the equator & the poles and every thing in between ?
You’ll be able to cleary see the place they made the completely different decision. particularly across the poles plus with a 4 quarters seperation of the sphere.
What i want to know if attainable :
The place to seek out data / code to create one thing like that ?
How onerous is it to implement ( on the mathematics facet I imply ) ?
How do you place de constructing on the floor of the sphere to align with the grid relying on the place on it ( the maths behinds are high quality, I can determine the remaining out on my own )
Any type of ressources that might assist me or clarify to me the way it’s executed is welcome !
That is the details I want to know, i am going to experiment after and share a public challenge for whoever need to do one thing like that later.
Thanks so much to your assist and your time !
