Abstract
Techniques for simulating destruction in a simulated space, for example, terrain, are disclosed herein. In some cases, one or more textures may be associated with an area of a simulated space, which may include a three dimensional space. A destructibility value, which may indicate the area's resilience to destruction or strength, may be associated with the area of simulated space. One or more textures of the simulated space may be changed or updated based on the occurrence of a destruction causing event. The change in one or more textures of the simulated space may be determined based at least in part on an intensity associated with the destruction causing event and the destructibility value of the affected simulated area.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories to store a set of instructions, which if executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- associating a first destructibility value with a first area;
- averaging a plurality of destructibility values for a plurality of areas into an average destructibility value, wherein the first area is included in the plurality of areas, and wherein the first destructibility value is included in the plurality of destructibility values;
- and
- changing one or more textures associated with one or more of the plurality of areas, wherein the changing is based, at least in part, on the average destructibility value and an intensity of a destruction causing event that affects the plurality of areas.
A method comprising:
- associating a first destructibility value with a first area;
- averaging a plurality of destructibility values for a plurality of areas into an average destructibility value, wherein the first area is included in the plurality of areas, and wherein the first deductibility value is included in the plurality of destructibility values;
- and
- changing one or more textures associated with one or more of the plurality of areas, wherein the changing is based, at least in part, on the average destructibility value and an intensity of a destruction causing event that affects the plurality of areas.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions, which if performed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- associating a first destructibility value with a first area;
- averaging a plurality of destructibility values for a plurality of areas into an average destructibility value, wherein the first area is included in the plurality of areas, and wherein the first destructibility value is included in the plurality of destructibility values;
- and
- changing one or more textures associated with one or more of the plurality of areas, wherein the changing is based, at least in part, on the average destructibility value and an intensity of a destruction causing event that affects the plurality of areas.
