Building Mesh Scenery

[Guest]

Could someone tell me a nice program to work with mesh manually? All I can get uses some files with mesh information, but I want to do it manually and I cant find it.I

What do you mean by manually?The way I did it was to make a grayscale picture in Paintshop, where black was sealevel and white the mountain tops.Then I used Grises50 to convert to DEM, and tmf2bgl to convert to bgl.There are some some calculations involved to that can be alittle difficult.This work takes time but the result can be very good :-)

Thanks for you help, I mean manually when its a litle island and you cant find a good DEM file for it. ;-)So you said the Grises50, where can I find It?regardsbatina
