I Made An Endless Ocean in Godot 4

In this Godot 4 devlog / tutorial, I work through the process of using a LOD grid system to create an infinite ocean effect in Godot 4.

Using my Ocean Shader tutorial as the foundation, I create a grid procedurally that spawns in the Godot editor and then use noise displacement to simulate multiple waves on the plane meshes.

My biggest issue was dealing with the mesh seams that occurred between subdivisions, but I show one way to stitch the meshes together in the new Ocean Shader.
