Pointcloud minimap

A never before seen take on the traditional minimap, with support for every map out of the box and features that'll make you wonder why nobody's done them before.

Also available on Github[github.com]

• Completely procedural and persistent maps, filled out through your own exploration.
  
• Full color on (almost) every surface complete with lighting and support for underwater areas.
  
• Seamless support for both indoor and outdoor areas.
  
• 3D map projections that let you see the world from an entirely new perspective.
  
• A comprehensive options menu, letting you tweak performance and appearance settings to your liking.
  
• Built-in performance metrics, accessible through a simple checkbox.

When you first load up a map you'll see the minimap start to get filled in, depending on your PC's performance you'll want to open the spawnmenu and navigate to Options -> Pointcloud and adjust the settings there until they're to your liking. Controls can be configured in this menu as well.

The default key for putting down a 3D projection is J.

• While I've tried to optimize things as best as I could, both Source and Garry's Mod weren't exactly made with these sorts of applications in mind. Expect a hefty performance impact if you decide to run it at full tilt.
  
• Due to engine limitations the map isn't and cannot be 100% color accurate. Some areas will use the wrong color (in the case of blend textures) or turn out completely black, there's nothing I can do about this.
  
• The ability to sync maps with other players or a server is unlikely to happen considering how large map files can get.
  
• The map in the second screenshot is gm_excess_waters.
  
• I cannot make the entire map available at the start, if I could then that would have been the default mode.
  
• Projections disappearing and having to re-render when you move your camera is a technical limitation I cannot do anything about. It's the only way to display something with that much detail without the game crashing outright.
