In January of next year we will be having our big demo of most of our Java3D work here at Full Sail. We are opening a brand new lab, etc. etc. One of the demos is large terrain visualation. We have terrain generation code, and our hardware is going to be the Gladiac, so naturally we figured we would give multi-texturing a try. So far, it has worked pretty good. However, there is a multi-texturing techique used in gaming that I can not for the life of me recreate in Java3D. Here is a picture of a multi-textured terrain in "UT: Game of the Year Edition" that is using "alpha-maps" to blend between different textures.(as per THERE explanation). Take a GOOD look at the .jpg attached. It is not one giant texture either. For those interested, here is the link to some of the explanation behind how they are doing it, but I can not reproduce this with any OpenGL modeler or Java3D, at this time. UT is a D3D based game, is it possible this is Direct3D feature that is not avaible in OpenGL and therefore Java3D? http://www.dailyradar.com/features/game_feature_page_1444_1.html Can it be done? Thanks for any help! -- ___________________________________________________________ Shawn Kendall Full Sail Real World Education Course Director 3300 University BLVD Real Time 3D for Gaming Winter Park FL 32792 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fullsail.com ___________________________________________________________
