3d terrain

[danny.boy.1]

Hello,
I am new on this forum, and new in using this engine.

Which method is best to draw terrain? I have list of
terrain points already defined.

I try to use add trinagle function but have some problem.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Danijel Ivankovic

Use TVLandscape.

If you have your height array already just create an empty landscape and use SetHeight, SetHeightArray or SetHeightArrayEx.

See http://wiki.truevision3d.com/tv3d65_doc/tvlandscape for some help. It is just community wiki so some articles might be missing but you get the idea.

thank you on your help.


I think that RVLandscape is not best way to draw
DTM terrain  beccause I have iregular mesh, and
in RVLandscape only can be regular mesh.

Maybe I am wrong...

Best regards

Sorry about the RVLandscape, it was a typo

R is apparently too close to T

Well you can either use the landscape as close approximation or otherwise you have to use TVMesh. TVLandscape is optimised though, so I would reconsider that if speed is an issue (especially for large terrains).

If you wish to build a mesh manually just create a new TVMesh using scene and start adding triangles. This will however be much slower to render (Unless you find a cleaver way to speed it up).
