Title: Terrains and Google Earth
Post by: Animl-AW on June 18, 2023, 06:07:00 PM
I've watched a few vids on YT showing how people were using GE to make terrains very quickly. Is this possible to inject into the Terrain Editor? Or am I super late on this subject? (prolly am)

Artik has a program called makeahmap that used it or a similar process for making ah terrains.

You can use Google Earth to get the Longitude and Latitude of the central location of what area you want to generate a map, put those into Artiks program and it will extract the data from NASA digital sources to create the map. Fun stuff really.

Yus guys are already doing what I would do, very well.
Terrain is a huge deal.
