Random Planet Generator
A simple random planet toy with randomisation and adjustable parameters.
This was really just me sharing my progress with making shaders and trying to replicate something that I saw on youtube. (this shader)
You can press H to toggle the UI visibility or click the button in the top left.
-----------------------------------
Each parameter adjusts different parts of the planet:
Radius = how large the planet is
Speed = how quickly the planet rotates around its poles
Angle = the angle that the planet's poles make with the up direction counterclockwise
Land Cover = ~ the proportion of the planet which is covered in the Land Colour
Beach Cover = difference between this and land cover is ~ the proportion of the planet which is covered in the Beach Colour
Cloud Cover = ~ the proportion of the atmosphere which is covered in the Cloud Colour
Cloud Density = the opacity of the clouds
Seed = the seed used for the terrain generation
Land Colour = the colour used by Land Cover
Beach Colour = the colour used by Beach Cover
Water Colour = the colour used for the rest of the planet
Cloud Colour = the colour of the clouds
-----------------------------------
The randomise function does a ton of arbitrary calculations which I just #ThrewTogetherUntilIWasHappy to create values for each parameter.
Took me ~2 days to create (1 day for the shader, 1 day for the UI functionality).
Hope you enjoy the toy, share your coolest planets in the comments! :>
