Terrain Example ?

[Thade]

Is there a Terrain Example featuring the exploded number of Terrain commands and parameters?
Version 5.00b2

Thanks in advance

Hi

Have you tried these examples ?

I think there are some examples witht the new terrain features.

That's what I was looking for.

Thank you, Blendman

Hello

Additional Questions to understand the system behind it:
In TG03-TerrainBlend.pb there is a file Terrain03_00000000.Dat in use ?

Code: Select all

CreateTerrain(0, 513, 12000, 600, 3, "Terrain03", "Dat")

How is it generated? What is it for? What does it represent?

There is a file called alpha.bmp in Textures\Terrain ... a .png would be 8 times smaller - where is the information to change it to .png so that the program recognizes it?

Who can point me to more information about the new 3D Commands in case its available somewhere?

Thank you

I'm currently writing the doc, it will be for the next beta.

Great - thanks for the info

it is generated by SaveTerrain(0, #False) using parameters "Terrain03" and "Dat". Example TH01-TerrainGroup will save 9 files as there are 9 terrains created.
Fred will say more in the doc

This file is not used.

only these files are used for textures :

Code: Select all

   AddTerrainTexture(0,  0, 100, "dirt_grayrocky_diffusespecular.dds",  "dirt_grayrocky_normalheight.dds")
    AddTerrainTexture(0,  1,  30, "grass_green-01_diffusespecular.dds", "grass_green-01_normalheight.dds")
    AddTerrainTexture(0,  2, 200, "growth_weirdfungus-03_diffusespecular.dds", "growth_weirdfungus-03_normalheight.dds")

And this one for Heightmap

Code: Select all

DefineTerrainTile(0, tx, ty, "terrain513.png", ty % 2, tx % 2)

Comtois. Thank you for the info.

alpha.bmp looks as if its the base texture for a terrain shader - so I made some unsuccessful tests - "painting" grass and rock in association with the green and red color ...
Well - it seems I have to wait for the docs to learn more about it.

Btw.: I have a HLSL terrain shader I used in another engine - it paints 9 textures on a terrain - depending on 2 slope parameters and terrain height - plus 2 textures for a detail textured road.








Hopefully I will be able to get it to work in PB
