Developing games at Hectiq. Currently exploring tech-art stuff.
Previously worked as engine dev for Asobo studio (mostly on Microsoft Flight Simulator).

Per layer per region we do:
- Paint & recompute low-resolution information
- upload low-res to GPU
- execute custom shader to create a high-res version (add noise etc)
Then, we merge the high-res layers into a single texture array. This texture array is sampled by the terrain.
Done!

There is a region-based update system as well, so we can update only that which changes.

OK, oops, let's maybe not preload everything.. We don't need all our levels at the same time, but let's preload everything that we could possibly load dynamically.
In total, prepooling + preloading: ~1 second, from clean.

Partial Derivatives (fwidth)
The partial derivative functions ddx, ddy and fwidth are some of the least used hlsl functions and they look quite confusing at first, but I like them a lot and I think they have some straightforward ...
