Hello again,

Hope it's ok that I post this here, since it didn't seem to fit the Program Announcement or the Snippets sections...

I was fiddling around trying to easily make some nice Landscapes, and I came up with these handy functions.

Basically it lets you easily create a Matrix Landscape with a HeightMap and a Texture.



Instructions are in the source files.

I have also included this in my UFC utility collection which includes all sorts of helpful utility functions. You can find the UFC collection under the WIP section.

Comments are welcome.

EDIT: Fixed a bug which caused the Texture to be applied incorrectly. The Download has been updated.

Looks good from the pic, although rather old school(with all the rounded hills and such). I am unsure if this is a matrix editable by matrix commands, or a terrain? It could be either by the screen shot. I assume matrix, but could be wrong.

Who the hell is General Failure? And why is he trying to read my hard disk?

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

Feel free to use it any way you like.

EDIT: And yes, it is a Matrix, not a Terrain.

EDIT2: Btw, the hills don't need to be so rounded, it all depends on how you draw the HeightMap. For this one I used a smooth brush, which is why it is so rounded.

You might want to re-download. I have fixed a bug in the code that caused the Texture to be applied wrong. The download in the top post has been updated with the new version.
