Anyone who likes my big oak tree? Smile

Its right, but a little "blocky" (yes, in Minecraft) and its shape seems square.

It's not that bad:

I think it's weird. The central trunk should be higher, after all it's the dominant apex.

Then how about this:

The branches seem a little too long. I'll adjust it.

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 11-13-2014

I uploaded my first implementation to github.

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 11-13-2014

Interesting. Why the floating-point directions, can't you work with regular ints?

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 11-13-2014

Because if I use ints I can't place a block on the same height:
Code:
---XX
XX---
instead of
Code:
----X
--X--
X----

(If that makes sense)

EDIT:
Now compare my code to the vanilla tree: https://gist.github.com/grum/62cfdec0537e8db24eb3#file-bigtreefeature-java-L145

Make the code lerp between startpoint and endpoint, then, you can have branches at any angle, and still keep int coords. Look up Bresenham algorithm if you need to.
