Yeah I guess that's because they probably use multiple textures on the same material and/or some flags and blending. But materials and lighting is ignored for now, first I need to get terrains to render and then I can start to refactor and then refine

Yep, but for the only goal of doing something stupid/insane, experimenting with things I don't know and have fun

_maybe_ it'll even be an "interactive" renderer

I've thought about making a renderer too to learn graphics

it's something I don't really know

well, it also depends on how low level you go. This is using `rend3` (rust), that abstracts away a lot of stuff, so you build meshes and define shaders (this is it's built in shader, still), because I decided I don't want to mess with all the very low level setup tasks

but terrain will be interesting, as it uses this ROAM thing, and regular rendering would just go with a regular height map, so I could drop the "mid" points or use them together with the surrounding 4 to get a high res height map (which btw is tricky at seams)

maybe I can get wotlk to look a bit more recent with all of that

but it's also likely that I just leave it at some point and shelve it for 10 more years, when modern systems will have trouble running the original game
