In the beginning, there was SphereWarper.cs, a C# script that stretched, warped, and created holes in meshes.
Now, a system identifies a mesh and adds a noise variation, creating craters, mountains, and rugged terrain. When combined with high-resolution textures, the result is the new Planetverse Procedural Planets!
This is a screenshot from Unity’s Scene view of a brand-new, procedurally-generated solar system about 10 kilometers away from the main universe. It has its own planets and star, and is fully travellable-to and landable-on! Coming with this is.. time warp! The ability to stretch time from your very own keyboard!
These systems appear everywhere in infinite numbers, making your Planetverse experience an infinite one!
That’s about it for now, stay tuned for more!

In an attempt to create wonderful procedural planets, this happened.
This is the first implementation of any sort of mesh generator, and so far, it works on the spherical model, and modifies it into a random shape by adding a random variation to each vertex. This causes problems, as one vertex may be assigned a positive value, and its neighbour a negative one, creating large spikes. Luckily, I do have a collider working, and it assigns the procedurally generated mesh to a Mesh Collider, and the collisions work, even when the procedural mesh is being modified.
That’s about it for now, stay tuned for more!
Lots of cold things have been added to Planetverse recently, sadly not including ice cream. First, I added a new planet, Aela, and its smaller moon Aila.
Also, comets! These ice-filled rocks traverse the solar system, leaving ice and snow everywhere.
That’s it for now!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, say HELLO! to Magna and Mana, the two newest additions to Planetverse!
Magna is the yellowish thing with rings, Mana is its tiny moon visible at the top. The rock at the bottom is an asteroid, they’ve been around for a bit.
You may notice Magna’s geyser, we haven’t been able to identify exactly what it spews, but we think it is water ice from Magna’s infinite, quantum supply of garbage being stored in an alternate dimension. Mana is a rock. That’s it (for now, expect more on Mana in the future). I am planning Magna to have a few more geysers, some faster, slower, erupting more often (currently, that geyser is constantly spewing ice)
That’s it for now, stay tuned for more!
