i been looking on how to make a matrix and though i tried the DBPro example i can't follow it properly. i got a textured plane and that was it. nothing like what the example said, and i followed it word for word.

if some1 could go through makeing a matrix step by step with me. what i want is a matrix about 100 square that looks like a desert with dunes. and have it repeat so it looks like a never ending landmass

i'll give any1 credit for it and i'll be so so so happy.

thanks

width = 1000
depth = 1000
make matrix 1, width, depth, 10, 10

load image "desert.jpg", 1
prepare matrix texture 1, 1, 1, 1

randomize matrix 1, 30

update matrix 1

Cool its working now. just one slight little problem y have i got a black grid near the camera? is it summat to do with the cameras position. this is totally new to me.

i've tried the camera positioning and it seems to be just one side the does it. that the side closest to the camera.

could the matrix be made to be a 9 by 9 square? (obviously it can) but so it looks seamless?

i'll play around with the cam for a bit and get to know that bit better. i'm gonna need it. at least if i can make it fly a set path and have the matrix(s) go forever then an into sequance might not be that hard to do using the games engine

oh btw i forgot to say THANKS Phaelax

[edit]
i'm sorry if this did get asked b4 but i'm really strugling with it and need some guidance. mostly with repeating the matrix and the grid problem. thats still beyond me.

thnx again for any help given
