Exporting Terrain ?

by Jim Evans · in Torque Game Engine · 02/24/2006 (12:51 pm) · 1 replies

Is there a way to export the terrain out of TGE so you can put it into a model editor..

I guess the heighmap or whatever would be the best way to do this? (only way?)

The height map works ok with some effort. I tried it and it wasn't really accurate enough for what I wanted. I'd also like a terrain mesh exporter. The tricky part is that there is Dynamic LOD so in game the mesh constantly changes.

Even so, it would definately be a handy tool to have and enable you to graft meshes into the terrain better for cleaner looking levels. Close up you would be seeing the terrain in pretty high detail I imagine.
