Around 90% of the visuals are placeholders, but this is one of the biggest updates I’ve made in a while.
New trees, water and lava, better clouds with local weather zones, and a new world generator built around it.
Sand and gravel have physics, just not shown here.

I’m fighting with modular 3D tree pieces right now, and I’m really curious to see how it turns out. 🌲

I have a pretty clear idea in my head of how the system should work, but it’s still a long way from behaving the way I want. 😅

Ah, #EchoesOfNawia finally has something as basic as torches :D

You can finally walk into caves and actually see something in there. XD

The weather system is coming together. :D
It already has wind, multiple weather types, and even weather fronts. Rain and storms will be local instead of affecting the whole world. 🌧️⛈️
No particles yet, but the cloud and weather logic is already working.

Another bit of real progress. :D

The sun finally seems to have the right effect now, and I’ve also added the first clouds. ☀️☁️

They’re still a bit buggy, of course. XD

The shadow map and shadow pass really kicked my ass. 😅

Combining them with a moving sun was much harder than I expected, and there are still plenty of things to improve.

But at least it finally works well enough to build on. :D
