Dynamically tessalated, procedurally generated, LOD-regenerated planet :lol:
Latest improvements on my current project

oh yeah, it works now :D Though there seems to be quite a bit of stuff for something that doesn't do much :? or is there something special that I'm missing? :think:

its more of a framework
theres a bunch of stuff its doing that you dont see 
for example look in the config/ folder or the /Resources/GUI/ folder (all of the odd extensions are text files)

there is xml-style parsing, image loading using DevIL,lua scripting support, and truetype font loading

also the planet is adaptively tessalated and generated using 3D perlin noise

I'm gonna pretend I understood everything, but what's a adaptively tessalated? :lol:

:lol:
the triangles on the planet are tesselated or formed by the splitting of a another triangle (it starts with a isocahedron), by adapatively i mean that it changes the amount of tesselation (how many times each triangle is split) and thus the detail depending on the camera's distance to the planet
