Terrain...?

[Krozgen]

Sucks about the forums :(

I actually was thinking about this based on an OpenGL tutorial posted on code project - could one of the members here possibly make a terrain tutorial (loading a greyscale bitmap in which, say, the color represents the y and the row/col of the pixel represents x and z)... maybe just demonstrate how to load the bitmap and go through pixel by pixel as a start. If they could make it for the framework, that'd be even better.

I don't have the link to the article, and don't have the time right now to search for it, but it'd be seriously appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The algorithm itself is very nicely expressed in C and there are heaps of tutorials which already do this.

An implementation for the framework may have more use. I think I have one sitting around somewhere, though it'll be old and messy. Realistically, this is a good coding exercise anyway.

I've planed to do a heighmap example too, yes.

I have some old code for this laying around too but it isn't that hard to do it yourself and as zooba said, this is a nice exercise :)

I used this site to help me out:

and

for more OpenGL tutorials

Edit: the tutorial is in C++ btw
