Basic distance based tessellation

Progress on my tessellation shader for efficient terrain rendering in OpenGL. Pretty much fully functional at a most basic level. I just need to set the heights from an image/procedurally, and adjust the tessellation control to handle cracks between patches and have a softer falloff. I implemented some nice visualization features that are toggle-able with console commands to help me with ongoing development.

I’m really excited, the project is really starting to come along, its my first project in modern OpenGL and I think I’m starting to get the hang of things.

Visualization of per patch tessellation levels (green = more tessellated, red = less):

And of course the wireframe, black is input geometry, white is geometry generated by tessellation shader:
