Sphere?

Today I saw a topic on the xna. com board asking if it is possible to create a seamless planet - space transition.

Guess what my answer was: YES! I'm currently working on ...

But as I thought that the topic is not interresting for me anymore, a XNA guy came over and sayed something about "Fold ... unfold" "huge pile of work for one guy" ...

... I actually started feeling a little smaller at that moment. There was that guy knowing what he is talking, and he says that that what your working on at the moment is not that easy and it takes many many man hours to get it done. That makes you think about your project ...
Never the less, I'll continou working on my random planets.

Today I changed the two x any y coords into angles, like you know it from every map. Thats also the same way how I will check if I need to create a mesh on that part of the planet or not, the angle. Now a system to get a two angles out of the position of the player and I can stop to waist vertex on the backside of the planet.
Later I tryed to get some random evelation into the vertex, but it appears that the system, at the moment creates a vertex for every possible random evelation ... (means it dose not work ;) ).


But thats all for now, ans I don't know if I will be able to spend more time on the weekend, as I got the final test next wednesday, and if I pass this one positive ... than I got no Es anymore, and that means that I can contiue to the 5th class without any more probles! WOOT! One step closser to the school leavings exam and so closer to the 6 month military service and after that finaly my studie in Computer Science! WOOT^2!
