OpenGL procedural terrain - triplanar texture mapping + normal mapping

Just a small demo of triplanar texture mapping + normal mapping in action over a procedurally generated surface.

To better show the effect, in this simple demo I used a brick texture over a very smooth terrain (generated using small values of "persistence").

Textures from:

Notice both methods have in common that you have to duplicate vertices.

very true, didn't even think about that.

If you think of a detailed mesh with thousands of triangles, those duplicated vertices are few in comparison to the total vertex count, so it's no problem an…

Normal map issues, I think the tangents are wrong

@ChimDev 

So you've solved the problem of all UV edges getting cut/not getting sewn?

Can you try to use the DAE untriangulated and see if the game engine does a proper job of triangulation?

Specular shimmer on edges of normal mapped object

I recall having this effect a number of times. In my case the cause were normals that didn't all point in the same direction. I'm not sure if there's a quick fix for it. Either anti-aliasing as mentioned (but I doubt that), or maybe a different shadowing approach. Should these pixels actually be li…
