This is Lumpy, a landmass editor and my final project for CSCI 4239 Advanced Computer Graphics.

There are 2 modes: God Mode and 1st-Person Mode. In God Mode, click anywhere on the sandy plane to create a lump. As the height increases, the texture will change to grass/plants, then to rock, and then to snow and snow will begin to fall. Drag to rotate the camera.

Then, switch to 1st-Person Mode by clicking the "First Person" button. Use the WASD keys or arrow buttons to navigate around the land you designed in God Mode and drag to rotate the camera.

This requires Qt. I used Qt 5.9.5.

qmake && make

• Placing the cursor at the mouse position is achieved by rendering the land plane to a buffer with a shader where the r and g values at each frag reflect the texture coordinates. Then, determining the cursor location is as simple as grabbing the buffer's color at the mouse position.
• Normals are calculated based on the height of surrounding pixels on the texture when a lump is created, and stored in the GBA components of the texture.
• The normals for the water are based on the derivetive of the sinusoidal function used to calculate their y value.
• The camera angle is rotated by [a fraction of] the angle between the normal at its position and vertical, which means you'll look up slightly as you climb up and look down slightly as you climb down.
• First-person velocity calculations and damping are handled in a timer that runs 60 times a second because we can't trust vsync.
• Plants are rendered using a Display List (borrowed from last year's final project). The height under each plant is determined using an image export of the lump map buffer generated when a lump is added.

This uses code adapted from examples 3, 8, and 12 in my class. Original code here.

The easing function used for lumps is adapted from here.

I'm hoping this qualifies as fair use as a school project because I didn't take care to find royalty-free textures. If I get any cease and desist letters I will comply.
