Legacy Terrain creation (from height map, ...)

by Ales Potocnik · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/17/2008 (6:30 am) · 1 replies

I have a question regarding legacy terrain in 1.7.1.

Is it possible to create legacy terrain from a height map?

If i have a completely void world and go to Editor with F11 and create a new TerrainBlock it requires a .ter terrain file?
How can create a .ter file (other then copy one from resources that ship with the SDK)?
Is it possible to create a blank new legacy terrain?

(i need a legacy terrain from terrain block not a mega terrain)

thanks for your answers!

Indeed you can. Using the Terrain Terraformer, there is a Bitmap operation where you can load a *.png to generate the terrain. Hope that's what you are looking for.
