Cool Procedural Planet Project Made with Godot
Cuberact revamped their old files.
Take a look at this interesting procedural planet with chunked level of detail (LOD) created by developer Cuberact, who remade their 15-year-old Java project using Godot.
"I deliberately kept it as a clean project, pure GDScript and shaders only, no plugins, no GDExtensions (C++). I want even beginners to be able to look under the hood and learn something. I tried to keep the code as simple as possible, with education in mind."

The tool renders a full-size planet of about 6,378 km with terrain that dynamically increases in detail the closer the camera gets to the surface. This is chunked LOD: "The planet surface is divided into a tree of rectangular patches (chunks). Near the camera, chunks split into 4 smaller children. Far away, children merge back into one parent. The result is high detail where you need it and low detail where you don't."
