Finaly the geometry is calculated by the satelite’s gravity. In a normal scenario the wouldn’t be visible in that scale so I needed to bring the moon verry close to the planet(It is now invisible) and increese its mass.

I am planning to make a zoom options so the deformations will be vissible even with the real data

Website deployed and my project is ready for shipping.
I added an information panel and checked everything.

I made a website from my previous code. I spend a lot of time on the design but I think it was worth it. If I don’t find any bugs, I think this will be my last devlog before shipping.

I made a rework and added few features.
What I changed:

1. Program checks when file ends(beafore i needed to type “///” and didn’t know this was possible).
2. Improved the files menagment: now there is a folder called “io”, makes program cleaner i think.
3. Now works both: in bash and as an app on windows.

I tested the fluid deformation in real time(made a small menu to debug it). It wasnt calculated based on physics, i was just incrementing position(this is position of the right peak, the rest is calculated based on that).

Of course i needed to scale it a bit, so you can see the water deformation.
It looks realy cool when the water is “streched” too much:

Fixed a huge geometry bug, made a shader for the water layer. The hardest part was configuring the pipeline so that the water layer and core don’t interfere whith themselfs and break.
Current view:

I improved my shader for solid bodies:
-shading responds to motion(previously it looked like the light sorce was moving with the object)
-now the shading is done per pixel(not per vertex)
-a bit of color is added to the opposite side

Here you can see before and after:

Today i focused on the physics part of the fluid shape. I used quadrupolar tidal bulge approximation via P₂ Legendre polynomial. In terms of physics it sounds complicated, but was easier than i exepected. However I spend a lot of time trying to get the geometry right, becaose my sphere generating algorithm is pretty weird.

Made basic pipeline for my symulation, improved shader use by creating helpful functions. This will be the core of the planet(it wont change geometry) so that was the easier part.

I havent posted any devlogs lately since my account had an issue with time sync.
Now I am back, here are the features that i added:
-Improved rendering pipeline
-Made a foundation for the final project
-Added basic shading
-Tested the transformation

It finaly starts to look like something:

I added a coments ignoring, now the comment will no longer be written in the final string.

I made a function that draws sphere in OpenGL, It took me a lot of calculations. I added a shader from the internet, it looks terrible, but i leats i know that the sphere is ok:

I made a function that draws circles in OpenGL, now i will work on making spheres.

I learned how to use index buffer

Learned the basics of openGL

now i can modify mesh resolution
