Hi,
I'm looking for some suggestions/links/examples/anything regarding
Terrains.
I want to make a simulator program which imports 3D models of vehicles
into
a 3D terrain and the user can control the vehicle over the terrain. Sort of
like
using the Sojourner (Mars vehicle) on a 3D Martian terrain...have the
vehicle climb
hills, be stopped by rocks.
Well, I figured I'd make some 3D terrain using meshes/triangles so that I
know the
node heights for use in the terrain following...but meshes tend to be quite
jagged
unless you reduce the mesh size significantly and somehow get the heights
correct.
I then though about maybe making the terrain out of VRML as well...but I'm
not
sure if node heights is something I could get from the VRML file through
Java3D.
ANy thoughts on what is the best way to tackles this?....and I'm not looking
for
any infinite terrains.
