- The planets in my solar system project are looking a bit hostile and uninviting, so in this video I'll be attempting to add some cozy atmospheres around them.
Watch the previous solar system video: here: • Coding Adventure: Proc...
Some notes:
• I made a little build where you can play with the atmosphere settings yourself, which you can find over here if you're interested: sebastian.itch.io/atmosphere-...
• A number of knowledgeable people have pointed out in the comments that reality is not nearly as simple as my little diagram around the 4 and a half minute mark, and that light does not literally wiggle up and down like a wave, so please note that the diagram is incorrect!
• This project was inspired by the game Outer Wilds, which I highly recommend playing!

The project is available over here: github.com/SebLague/Solar-System

"my favorite programming trick: calling a function that doesn't exist and worrying about it later"
You're my hero dude lmfao
I was gonna say, that's actually a pretty useful way to make sure your functions are all nicely decomposed rather than trying to cram everything in, train-of-thought style.
SS2Dante oh for sure, I do the same thing
I tend to do the opposite. Write a function, forget to call it and wonder why it's not working.
@@Trezker lol me too
@@Trezker There are two kinds of people
When he accidentally makes the best lesson on why the sky is blue.
yeah, and I'd never have thought about why the sky turns red when the sun is low
Ha - was thinking the same thing.
iirc there is a part about how oxygen actually "looks more blue than violet" too, but I think he summarized things in a quick and good way that clearly passed the message that "there are several reasons that contribute to the same effect" (not to mention that iirc it was also debated whether what I mentioned was to such a small extent it could be considered *entirely negligible* in terms of the sky's color)

They are broad personal attacks against programmers

He already destroyed Spore's planet generation in the previous episode, so No Man's Sky is for sure next on the list.
More like Outer Wilds 2
No this is way more like outer wilds than NMS.
@@_Killkor Ha. No one is going to touch NMS planet generation for a long time. Everyone's height map performance barely runs better than NMS having not only more points of data in the same FOV. But also voxelates the entire surface. All while running almost as well as even the best competitors. That is seriously impressive optimization. NMS is easily the best optimized game of this decade. It should not run anywhere near as well as it does with that kind of real time terrain generation. All while having graphical affects on par with anything else out that isn't ray traced. And it runs on consoles AND VR quite flawlessly? My very modest 1060 keeps it solidly within max reprojection fps better than any other game I can't run at the full 80 on my rift. Hahaha, no ones going to get close for a long while.

"that sped things up immensely, with the minor trade-off of completely ruining everything"
The story of my programming career right there.
I lost it at that line.
I can absolutely relate to this line's accuracy as a college Robotics major and hobbyist game developer. Nothing, not even a seemingly basic optimization, ever works exactly right the first time. In my experience, only one third of programming is actually devising the logic and writing the program. The remaining two thirds are roughly equally split between debugging and tweaking the numbers.
I've had this concept apply to every single project I've worked on from basic Pong clones to turn-based RPG's to autonomous navigation.

The most mind-blowing part about these shaders is that they look good both above- and below their "surface". This one looks great from space and from the planet surface, and the water one looks great both inside- and outside the water. Absolutely boggles my mind.
That's because Sebastian bases his solutions on actual physics instead of going for easy surface level solutions. The man deserves all the credit he gets and then some!
@@masamainio4052 Looks great, but is not based entirely on real physics. He did use some tricks to make it easier. The red colors should not appear when looking from outside the planet.
Still awesome work :) he really inspires all of us
When you program good, code will work even in situations you didn't plan.
@@AkiRa22084 i do not think that is how it works, filthy weeb
Bruh So what you're saying is that you don't program good.
Your ability to visualize and present concepts of all kinds is actually one of your strongest points. The editing and visual elements combined with music infused with your personal touch (hand drawing explanations) is a real highlight to everything. Regardless of topic, I'm sure you could make it interesting. I just happen to love your coding adventures.

Wow 105 likes and no replies

Nah mate we already have spore for that...
Moral of the story: If you can't model great and beautiful stuff, just procedurally generate them.
As easy, as that...
This makes me feel like I'll never be an even decent hobby programmer.
The best I can do is make a barely functional pointless Python program every few years
Just start with a simple map, something achievable with your skills. You can start with the course "procedural map generation" with Brackeys. Then increment your project, still with something doable, etc. Each time you'll add something, you'll get better, and so will be your project. And one day... your virtual world may become something wonderful :)
@@LordxGx07 this makes me remember how nice the internet can be sometimes

I can normally grasp a basic concept of how some code works, what this code is doing is beyond me.
I can't wait until he eventually adds every single coding adventure into this one project. Simulating ecosystems, boids in the form of procedurally generated fish, procedurally generated animals, caves, ray tracing reflections, hydrolic erosion. The whole works.

13th for me
This has to be one of the highest quality channels on youtube. All the videos are educational, inspiring, really engaging and shows a thought process of tackling nearly any problem. Absolutely love this content.
This seems like a tutorial for the first 7 days in the job of an omnipotent entity.
Yes

No kidding. Our reality functions like one of those tutorials where the dev reads through it halfway, misunderstands/misapplies half of that, and wings the rest.
Didn't he rest on the 7th day?
Underrated
Hey everyone, hope you enjoy this little video about atmospheres! CZcams's compression was not so kind on the results (they came out a bit blocky and bandy) so I've put together a little demo build where you can play with some of the settings yourself and see the results. It's available here if you're interested: sebastian.itch.io/atmosphere-experiment
Some notes:
A number of knowledgeable people have pointed out in the comments that reality is not as simple as my little diagram around 4:35, and that light does not literally wiggle up and down like a wave, so please note that my diagram is incorrect!
The project files from this episode are currently in early access for patrons of the channel, so if you'd like to experiment with those (and support my work in the process) you can download them here: www.patreon.com/posts/project-files-40730130 There is a public repository for this on-going Solar System project over here: github.com/SebLague/Solar-System, which currently includes the gravity simulation and procedural planets from the previous two episodes, and the atmospheres will be added to it on September 15

well we are a bunch of atoms that are attracted to each other and not a single object , that's what messes with my brain XDDD
And in theory if you could know enough about everything, break it all down mathematically, and calculate it all from the big bang, you'd be able to know the future through every cause and effect chain
@@EKIANandWolvesGaming nah I get why that seems to make sense but there are truly random events happening all the time. The spin of a quark for example, when it is formed
@@EKIANandWolvesGaming I think one of the main problems with that theory is that you cannot know / have complete precision of natural values (acceleration, etc.), and those precision errors will cause prediction errors over long periods of time due to the butterfly effect. Though perhaps it could be precise enough to at least be accurate for a few billion years...though of course it would still require an impossibly large amount of processing power.

After spending 4 years to get my astronomy degree, I feel vindicated to hear optical depth used properly for cool reasons, and when you decided to normalize your unit system to 1 for simplicity I nearly cried
same! god I wish I normalized my simulation of the surface of the star, I spent too much time checking the numbers with a calculator.

Whenever someone makes some asinine comment like "you don't need math to be a successful programmer". I just refer them to your videos.
7:41 Reminds me of my favorite programming trick, which is writing a function and forgetting to call it later
Mine is creating a function, changing the name, then forgetting I changed the name and wasting 3 hours.
I declare a function, make the function and then the program decides to not let me call the function
Like 2/3 functions can't be called because the program doesn't like them, while the others have no problems
And then re-writing it only to end up with a worse function
I call it before actually creating it or when it‘s just a construct which returns nothing.
He's so calm explaining all of this, I can't imagine he doesn't get immensely frustrated like me trying to figure out these problems and having to do ridiculous amounts of research to solve them
Right? He says it like he knows exactly what he has to do, exactly how to do it, and why he has to do it that way all the time. It would be so interesting to actually just watch him do it

The more I watch your series on making this solar system, the more I appreciate what Maxxis went through creating SPORE. That might be mostly because Spore doesn't look too far off from what you've made thus far, though with today's tech and such you'd likely be able to make something that looks a bit better.

Sebastian Lague MAKE AN OCEAN
Branko Fink With Sharks Whales Dolphins Turtles And Boid Fish
Specifically Clownfish
Bugs that i've found so far(in the demo):
1. Stars are visible through the ocean
2. Scattering doesn't apply on the ocean reflections/glares
3. The ocean reflections/glares are visible even when the sun is under the horizon
Put this in the itch page.
The oceans are almost definitely temporary.
Oceans aren't really there. It's all just a shader based on planet's centre position. Sebastian would need to make them more of a "physical" in-game object over just a screen space shader

@@SoulSukkur I would guess that the Outer wilds planets are at least partially procedurally generated at some point and then they went in and modified them.
@@perfredelius8060 I watched the making of documentary from noclip and they didn't suggest anything like that. they discussed how they had to design Timber Hearth as layers of spheres, and then they had to overhaul that for the Ember Twin, which has more complex geometry. everything in that game was made deliberate. they talked about how annoying it was to make brittle hollow, which has the highest level of surface detail. they had to model each of the flat bits individually.
Honestly, i don't see how there would be any design benefit to procedural generation. if you want to have a way to generate as many unique-but-similar moons as you want, then go ahead and make a random crater generator. but Outer Wilds only has 3 moons, and only one of those has craters. designing systems to procedurally generate things you'll only need once is so inefficient. just make a sphere and sculpt some dents into it. no math, no parameters, full artistic control.

I absolutely love the way you have done this series, not only is it fascinating to watch and see what you managed to achieve, but as a coder also interested in these topics, it is very valuable at pointing out various techniques used, and even explaining and visualizing them to a degree to make delving into the topics easier(plus I know what to look up in order to get full details on a topic).
So, thank you for these, I look forward to seeing your future progress and see what you manage to do with it moving forwards.
Electromagnetic waves don't "undulate" through space like that. We say they're transverse waves because they are formed by electric and magnetic fields that point perpendicular to the direction of travel. The wave itself may have a volume, or it may be very narrow, depending on the light source, dispersion, that sort of thing.
What's actually happening is that the air molecules are being polarized by the oscillating electric field of the light traveling through it, which makes them behave like tiny little antennae and reradiate. These molecules are like mass-spring systems; they have a natural frequency they "like" to oscillate at. This resonance frequency would be the frequency that would result in the most efficient scattering. Well, it turns out that for air this frequency is actually in the ultraviolet, which means the "higher frequency = more scattering" rule works, but only for visible light. If the sun output more energy in higher wavelengths, and your eyes were sensitive to those wavelengths, you might expect the sky would be purple.
Well said. You can actually see that uv light is scattered more in practice if you use a uv camera. If you were able to see uv light, the world would be extremely misty and thick as the atmosphere is scattering the light a ton.
earth is flat

It would be really hard though... erosion is a static effect and requires you to store all the procedural data somewhere, and raymarched clouds are extremely computationally expensive.

Also I am not sure why would you degrade me when I did not attack you in any way, sorry if it seemed so. (And no, I don't think I could decipher a university paper, not without prior knowledge.
"That sped things up immensely, with the minor tradeoff of completely ruining everything" is pretty much the slogan of every first optimization attempt ever xD Your dry sense of humour is such a joy to behold, please don't ever lose it!
words cannot explain how much joy i get from watching this series. keep up the good work, and please make a full game of this. this is literally my dream game.
This is absolutely beautiful, both from a coding and artistic perspective. Very inspired by your work. I just started learning Unity and you are my go-to resource for almost anything. Congrats and thanks!
When the sun started to go away and we saw the stars, it made me say "WOOOW" really really! Congrats!!!
Up next on coding adventures: Sebastian simulates the entire universe in real time.
Jokes aside I love your videos!
episode 100, how to code self avare life forms
This actually isn't completely unattainable. For a game, you wouldn't actually need to simulate the entire universe at the same time, just the region close enough that the player that they can meaningfully observe it. The rest can just be loaded/generated "on the fly" as needed, or unloaded to save space (pun intentional) if it is no longer inside this region. Methods like this are often used to enable games to have extremely large, and sometimes practically infinite, worlds (or universes in this case) that couldn't possibly fit in memory in their full forms; Minecraft is probably the most famous example. I've even seen Sebastian implement systems like this on other projects, so he could easily simulate an entire fictional universe.
@@andrewsprojectsinnovations6352 he dun been woooshed
@@andrewsprojectsinnovations6352 Yes you're right. The program SpaceEngine has already done something like this. (I'd suggest checking it out. The old versions are free I think or you can find some footage on yt.)
Nah, he never optimizes it - he'll just simulate the entire universe at 12fps :P
This is absolutely incredible, I'm thoroughly impressed. I can't imagine how much effort this must take, thank you for sharing your work and process!
I hope this channel won't die, it's the best and motivational coding channel I've found, but I fear that it may lead to financial problems
Your videos always amaze me! I love that you take a very physics based approach to most of these coding adventures, and the end result is beautiful!
Happy you liked it, thanks!
@@SebastianLague Please keep up the quality, man. I'd ask for that request, and also thanking you for your efforts.
*Note:* I'd like to resend similar messages again in the future videos.
I love that you include the parts where you mess up. The mistakes are often my favorite part
These video's are about what he want's to explore, things he wants to try. I have tried doing similar things on a smaller scale and honestly the biggest joy in some ways is when it doesn't go right.
It's easy for someone with more experience to produce a "perfect" video that doesn't show the mistakes or his frustration. By showing you all that he is first saying that you probably will never write perfect code first time, but, also that mistakes happen even when you have more experience
Your videos are so interesting, also the content you includes...it makes you a genius...more than any other developer I've ever seen
I think we should all aspire to be like sebastian
"I've long since lost any faith in the code I write" same, man. same.
In five years he's gonna make a video like "I was messing around with variables to make self-aware AI creatures."
I love how the purple sky with green sunset that eve has in kerbal arises naturally
these are some of the most well-done coding videos i've ever seen, really appreciate how much effort you put into making the visuals to explain concepts as you write the code
that feel when you accidentally discover God's secret CZcams channel detailing how he made everything
Fun fact: those planets were once a untextured coloured sphere.
before that they were cubes!
Alex A wait seriously??! No way!
So much Potential in the Blender default cube
“My favourite programming trick is calling a function that doesn’t exist and worrying about it later”
Thanks for calling me out
relatable
That's how you come up with the best API. I always code what I want a function to look like first before implementing it. It also helps to think about what you need in a different context. Granted I'm a web developer, this is like wizardry to me.
I love this. You have such a calm and relaxing voice. You're talking about such interesting things and it's for coding. Literally nothing I dislike about anything here
and just like that you disproved flat earthers totally by accident
