Just added vegetation masking to my procedural level construction! 🧱➡️🌱
Terrain details are now added via a masked noise map.
Screenshot: Left = mask, Right = level with buildings + masked details. I now Have a deterministic way to handle future biomes!

🎬 Part 3: The Last Stand!
We finally take our dynamic asset system to the next level by adding pooled VFX tied to action types using custom attributes. Sounds fancy? It is — but also practical.💥

🧠 Step 4 of my level gen system working smarter — now it reports only cells that are actually usable after WFC placement 👌
No more bloating memory with unused cells.
Feels good when a system respects its own constraints 😅

✨First pass at a ground material for my project.
Built in an older version of Substance Designer (it’s what I’ve got — but it still works well).✨
The hex formations? That’s Ferrossalt- a dense metallic stone. Part mineral, part mystery.😱

🟩 Generate a grid
🏗️ Use BSP to create rooms
❌ Filter out ones that are too small
📏 Snap sizes to a defined range
📦 Scatter rooms across the grid
🏙️ Finally generate data for my WFC system!

Today I got started with my dynamic catwalk system. Once the map is generated I want to generate connecting catwalks between some of the buildings. This is a good start but I have to refine the process to get slightly better results 🙂

Camera Controls ✅ I implemented Move, Rotate and Zoom. I like this rotation better than my original solution where the camera was fixed at a certain height and it only rotated around the view in 45 degree increments.
