Let's say I want to create a dynamic terrain based on level-of-detail algorithm and a very high-res satellite texture (i.e. 32.768x32.768px). Eventually, I have created tiles out of this image according to levels:
level1 4 tiles
level2 16 tiles
level3 64 tiles
level4 256 tiles
level5 1024 tiles
All these tiles are 1024x1024
I have attached a very basic snippet, which has already divided plane (THREE.BufferGeometry) according to camera position.
The Delaunator from Mapbox works pretty fast, however I don't know how to place textures onto plane like on following illustration:
I bet it has to be done with shader, but don't have any ideas how to do it.
Merging these tiles to one large texture leads us to 32.768x32.768, so it's the dead end.
Yeah, it could be multi-texturing with THREE.MeshFaceMaterial(materials) and assigning each material (tile) to certain vertices. However, I'm looking for straight GLSL solution capable of processing ~60-65 textures of at least 512x512, better 1024x1024.
PS: Yes, I have already version where this single plane is divided to small ones, but I'm looking for single plane approach, since there are crack on tile joints similar as described in this article, Figure 8.
PS: Please ignore quadtree algrorithm. I am asking for general solution of rendering 60-70 textures for one geometry.

That's a simple sketch to TheJim01 proposal of splitting geometry render to different draw calls by geometry.addGroup method. The snippet has a crossOrigin issue, so it's just for reference.
I don't know if it's capable of doing 60-70 textures/materials for one geometry, however the following code could be used for >16 materials.

I have a massive image of a map that is much larger than the viewport and centered in the viewport, which can be explored by the user by dragging the screen. In order to create a parallax effect, I used a massive image of clouds in the foreground. As the user explores the map via dragging, both the background and foreground move in a parallax fashion. So far, so good.
However, what I really want to do is give the image of clouds a "default" movement that would be randomly generated on each page load, so that the clouds would always be moving, even if the user is not dragging. I know this can be done by animating the foreground along a path, but I am not exactly sure how to go about this.
How can I randomly generate irregularly curved or wavy paths on each page load?
Does anybody know of any algorithms that can do this?
I also use a copy of the previous answers to realize a simplified version of what I hinted at in the comments.
Use a random walk on the unit circle, that is on the angle, to determine a velocity vector that slowly but randomly changes and move forward using cubic Bezier patches.

If your question is: How can I randomly generate curved or wavy paths? this is how I would do it: I'm using inputs type range to change the value for amplitude and frequency, but you can set those values randomly on load.

I was impressed by the functionality to be able to draw canvases in the SO answers, so I "stole" enxaneta code snippet and played a bit with it (hope that is ok).
The idea is to generate several random points (xs, ys) and for each x from the path to interpolate the y as y = sum{ys_i*w_i}/sum{w_i}, where w_i is some interpolation weight as a function of x. For example w_i(x) = (xs_i - x)^(-2). Hope this makes sense - if this is of any interested I'll try to provide more details.

Deterministic random paths
Storing paths for random movements is not needed. Also random is another way of being very complex, and for humans it does not take much complexity to look randoms.
Thus with a little randomness to add to complexity you can make the appearance of the infinite non repeating sequence that and be rewound, stopped, slowed down speed up, and be fully deterministic and requiring only a single value to store.
Complex cycles.
To move a point in a circle around a center you can use sin and cos.
For example a point x,y and you want to move in a ball around that point at a distance of dist and a rate once a second. Example in snippet.
var px = 100; // point of rotation.
var py = 100;
const RPS = 1; // Rotations Per Second
const dist = 50; // distance from point
const radius = 25; // circle radius
function moveObj(time) { // Find rotated point and draw
time = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS; // convert the time to rotations per secon
const xx = Math.cos(time) * dist;
const yy = Math.sin(time) * dist;
drawCircle(xx, yy)
}
// Helpers
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
function drawCircle(x,y,r = radius) {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,px,py);
ctx.fillStyle = "#fff";
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x,y,r,0,PI2);
ctx.fill();
}
function mainLoop(time) {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0);
ctx.clearRect(0,0,ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
moveObj(time);
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
}
const PI = Math.PI;
const PI2 = PI * 2;
canvas {
background : #8AF;
border : 1px solid black;
}
<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200"></canvas>
Next let's move the point around which we rotate, using the method above.
Then for the ball we can change the phase of the rotation in x from the rotation in y. This means that the ball rotating around the now rotating point, and the balls rotating axis are out of phase.
The result is a more complex movements.
var px = 100; // point of rotation.
var py = 100;
const RPS_P = 0.1; // point Rotations Per Second 0.1 every 10 seconds
const RPS_X = 1; // Rotations Per Second in x axis of circle
const RPS_Y = 0.8; // Rotations Per Second in y axis of circle
const dist_P = 30; // distance from center point is
const dist = 50; // distance from point
const radius = 25; // circle radius
function moveObj(time) { // Find rotated point and draw
var phaseX = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_X;
var phaseY = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_Y;
const xx = Math.cos(phaseX) * dist;
const yy = Math.sin(phaseY) * dist;
drawCircle(xx, yy)
}
function movePoint(time) { // move point around center
time = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_P;
px = 100 + Math.cos(time) * dist_P;
py = 100 + Math.sin(time) * dist_P;
}
// Helpers
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
function drawCircle(x,y,r = radius) {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,px,py);
ctx.fillStyle = "#fff";
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x,y,r,0,PI2);
ctx.fill();
}
function mainLoop(time) {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0);
ctx.clearRect(0,0,ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
movePoint(time);
moveObj(time);
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
}
const PI = Math.PI;
const PI2 = PI * 2;
canvas {
background : #8AF;
border : 1px solid black;
}
<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200"></canvas>
We can continue to add out of phase rotations. In the next example we now rotate the rotation point around the center, add out of phase rotation to that point and finally draw the ball with its out of phase rotation.
var px = 100; // point of rotation.
var py = 100;
const RPS_C_X = 0.43; // Rotation speed X of rotating rotation point
const RPS_C_Y = 0.47; // Rotation speed X of rotating rotation point
const RPS_P_X = 0.093; // point Rotations speed X
const RPS_P_Y = 0.097; // point Rotations speed Y
const RPS_X = 1; // Rotations Per Second in x axis of circle
const RPS_Y = 0.8; // Rotations Per Second in y axis of circle
const dist_C = 20; // distance from center point is
const dist_P = 30; // distance from center point is
const dist = 30; // distance from point
const radius = 25; // circle radius
function moveObj(time) { // Find rotated point and draw
var phaseX = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_X;
var phaseY = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_Y;
const xx = Math.cos(phaseX) * dist;
const yy = Math.sin(phaseY) * dist;
drawCircle(xx, yy)
}
function movePoints(time) { // Move the rotating pointe and rotate the rotation point
// around that point
var phaseX = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_C_X;
var phaseY = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_C_Y;
px = 100 + Math.cos(phaseX) * dist_C;
py = 100 + Math.sin(phaseY) * dist_C;
phaseX = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_P_X;
phaseY = (time / 1000) * PI2 * RPS_P_Y;
px = px + Math.cos(phaseX) * dist_P;
py = py + Math.sin(phaseY) * dist_P;
}
// Helpers
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
function drawCircle(x,y,r = radius) {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,px,py);
ctx.fillStyle = "#fff";
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x,y,r,0,PI2);

function mainLoop(time) {

So now we have a very complex rotation. However as it is set to the time, you can repeat the movement by just setting the time back to the start. You don't need to store a long complex path.
Add a little random
You may see some repeating movement but if you make the phases of each axis a prime then the repeat time is the product of all the primes.
If you want many objects each with a different movement you can randomise the rotation rates and many more properties.
Javascript does not have a seeded random generator. However you can create one. With a seeded random generator you can us the seed to generate a random object. But if you use that seed again you get the same object. In the example below I us a seed from 0 to 10000000 to create a cloud. That means there are 10000000 unique clouds, but all repeatable.
Example of deterministic random clouds
Restart and it will repeat exactly the same. To change it to non deterministic random just add randSeed(Math.random() * 100000 | 0)
const seededRandom = (() => {
var seed = 1;
return { max : 2576436549074795, reseed (s) { seed = s }, random () { return seed = ((8765432352450986 * seed) + 8507698654323524) % this.max }}
})();
const randSeed = (seed) => seededRandom.reseed(seed|0);
const randSI = (min = 2, max = min + (min = 0)) => (seededRandom.random() % (max - min)) + min;
const randS = (min = 1, max = min + (min = 0)) => (seededRandom.random() / seededRandom.max) * (max - min) + min;
const randSPow = (min, max = min + (min = 0), p = 2) => (max + min) / 2 + (Math.pow(seededRandom.random() / seededRandom.max, p) * (max - min) * 0.5) * (randSI(2) < 1 ? 1 : -1);

I'm trying to change the shape of the particles in this script so that every time you click, the shapes change to a random shape. The shapes I want to do are circles (which they already are), squares, triangles, pentagons, and a four-leaf clover shape without the stem. I want to use the addEventListener method, but i have no idea where to even start with that. Thanks in advance, and here's the code I have so far:
http://jsfiddle.net/eampkcrr/
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var width = window.innerWidth;
var height = window.innerHeight;
var xCirc;
var yCirc;
var rCirc;
var animate = true;
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
makeParticles();
makeShapes();
function makeParticles() {
xCenter = canvas.width/2;
yCenter = canvas.height/2;
particles = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 3000; i++){
particles.push(new Particle());
}
}
function makeShapes() {
xCenter = canvas.width/2;
yCenter = canvas.height/2;
shapes = [];
shapes.push(new Circle());
}
function Circle() {
var r1 = 150;
var r2 = 1000;
var gradient1 = context.createRadialGradient(width/2, height/2, r1, width/2, height/2, r2);
gradient1.addColorStop(0.2, "yellow");
gradient1.addColorStop(0.8, "purple");
context.fillStyle = gradient1;
context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
var gradient2 = context.createRadialGradient(width/2, height/2, 120, width/2, height/2, 150);
gradient2.addColorStop(0, "black");
gradient2.addColorStop(.75, "black");
gradient2.addColorStop(1, "orange");
context.beginPath();
context.arc(width/2, height/2, 150, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);

}

moveParticles();
}
function Particle() {
this.x = Math.floor((Math.random() * canvas.width) + 1);
this.y = Math.floor((Math.random() * canvas.height) + 1);
this.z = Math.floor((Math.random() * canvas.width));
var grad = context.createRadialGradient(this.x, this.y, Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1), this.x, this.y, Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1));
var colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "orange", "purple", "yellow", "white"];
grad.addColorStop(0, colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)]);

}
function draw() {

for (var i = 0; i < particles.length; i++){
var p = particles[i];
xP = (xCenter - p.x) * (canvas.width/p.z);
xP += xCenter;
yP = (yCenter - p.y) * (canvas.width/p.z);
yP += yCenter;
rP = (canvas.width/p.z);
context.beginPath();
context.arc(xP, yP, rP, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);
context.fillStyle = p.color;
context.fill();
xCirc -= p.x;
yCirc -= p.y;
}
}
function moveParticles() {
for (var j = 0; j < particles.length; j++){
var p = particles[j];
p.z -= 2;
if (p.z <= 0){
p.z = canvas.width;
}
}
}
start();
You can listen for click events on the canvas like this:
canvas.onclick=function(){ ... }
To change the particle shape, you can add a draw method to Particle that draws the appropriate shape based on a particle's this.particleType.
function Particle(particleType) {
this.particleType=particleType;
this.x = Math.floor((Math.random() * canvas.width) + 1);
this.y = Math.floor((Math.random() * canvas.height) + 1);
this.z = Math.floor((Math.random() * canvas.width));
var grad = context.createRadialGradient(this.x, this.y, Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1), this.x, this.y, Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1));
var colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "orange", "purple", "yellow", "white"];
grad.addColorStop(0, colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)]);
grad.addColorStop(1, colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)]);
this.color = grad;
this.radius = 1;
this.draw=function(){
// update position
var xP = (xCenter - this.x) * (canvas.width/this.z);
xP += xCenter;
var yP = (yCenter - this.y) * (canvas.width/this.z);
yP += yCenter;
var rP = (canvas.width/this.z);
// set fillStyle
context.fillStyle = this.color;
// draw on context based on the particle's current shape
switch (this.particleType){
case 'circle':
context.beginPath();
context.arc(xP, yP, rP, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);
context.fill();
break;
case 'square':
context.fillRect(xP-rP, yP-rP, rP*2, rP*2);
break;
}
// update
xCirc -= this.x;
yCirc -= this.y;
}
}
Then your external function draw simply requests each particle to draw itself:
function draw() {
Circle();
for (var i = 0; i < particles.length; i++){
// request each particle to draw itself
var p = particles[i].draw();
}
}
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");

}
};

}
function makeShapes() {
