So I’ve finally settled on a new ground clutter appearance. I’m really digging this. It’s subtle, but just lends a bit of texture when you’re down low near the ground, but is soft enough that it completely vanishes once you’re only a little bit up into the air (which means that I can stop drawing…
So I’ve been spending a little bit of time looking at graphical things again, as I mentioned a week or two back. Today I finally turned my attention to “ground clutter”; just little details that I add to the ground around the player, to try to keep the ground from feeling too terribly plain, when…

This is so that (if/when desired) textures can easily be applied to the generated objects. Texture coordinates basically work by assigning coordinates to each corner of an…
