Some technical background

• Uses multi-threading for generating newly visible terrain chunkgs
• Draw batches for visible objects (trees, grass) are generated per-frame on the GPU
• "Old school" render-to-texture reflections
• All terrain settings can be changed on the fly
• Renderer
  • Requires Vulkan 1.3
  • Dynamic rendering
  • Single-pass shadow cascade generation using multi view
  • Uses MSAA and alpha-to-coverage for order-independent transparency
