Remagen Land Object

AC3D lets you import a grayscale bitmap for a heightmap, and automatically generates the mesh.  There's a website in Europe that will generate a color heightmap of anywhere on the continent, so I had to color over in grayscale.  I haven't tried it in the raw color heightmap, too tired right now.  Here's the first pass on a 2 mile square object centered on the bridge area.  My grayscaling needs work.

I tried something a little different in the second try this morning.

The following process took me 12 minutes:

1.  Go to Terrain.party and generate the heightfield for the area around Remagen.



2.  Load the heightfield into L3DT Pro.



3.  Look at the mesh in L3DT and make adjustments.



4. Export the file as .OBJ format, and import it into AC3D.

These software packages are awesome.  All I need to do is clean up the perimeter vertices to 660 spacing, and this terrain can get dropped into the Terrain Editor as-is.

that looks like it worked out really nicely!!!
