alright, i dont know much about matricies, so help me.
i have my matrix, and around the edges i want mountains,so you cant see off the edge of the world. any ideas?


thats my temp matrix while i am working out my engine and what i will be using for awhile. so base your help around that code if you could.

[edit]
if anyone has some good rocky/dirt textures i could use in my game, and you dont mind me using them, please let me know.

Skybox.

A box that moves with you, and is textured with mountains, sky and all things beautiful.

Do a search on Skybox / Skysphere, you'll find loads of info on them.

you need to put in

Update Matrix

After the mountains are created...

Then to stop the player going off the edge of the matrix, do this:



That is, assuming that your z position data is saved in z# and same for x in x#.
