Title: More terrain utilities
Post by: Voss on January 27, 2003, 07:51:31 PM

I'll add a few as I go along. This page has a utility listed that I use everyday (dem2pov), but there be more there that one of you could use. The advantage so far is that Pov will generate any output size I require.

Users of TrueSpace might want to check this out. It takes a black and white height map and generates a 3D mesh for use in TS.

Thhis program does basically the same thing, but allows for output back to Pov-Ray and a few manipulations I appreciate. Plus, the source code in Visual Basic is available, so someone might make a few enhancements for AH if they were so inclined.
