Mountain real-time generation

Postby Alikrus » Sat Jun 05, 2010 9:02 am

In the book of 1985 about computer technology i find a simple and very interesting algorithm for mountain building from the triangles divisions by ©IBM.
But in the web in the all times i can't find this. Can You hint me? :?:
For example my InkScape hand-work for demo this algorithm step-by-step...
P.S.: I want to fing life demo for this. As real-time animation step-by-step with adjusting characteristic.
Not video, but really algorithm on the JS, in the html-5 canvas or in the svg-script :roll:

That is commonly referred to as midpoint subdivision.

What to you actually want to do?

You should send it to the dev list. Can you form it into an extension? There is info about how to do it in Inkscape wiki.
