Terrain meshes editing using Gmax

Featured Replies

Remember the Pt.Reyes area in the San Francisco region.http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/ptreyes.jpgThe next version of GeoTilesViewer (v 3.0) will support import / export of terrainelevation from the geotiles.tag file. We can just load an work on a quarter of a megatile using a grid of 129x129 meshes due to a limitation of Gmax to a plane of 200x200 segments max. http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/gm0_abag.jpgThe maximum usable texture is that of level 3 of fu3. There is then 4 pixel between mesh points.http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/gm1_abag.jpgEditing is limited to the z axis only, then import function will just extract the height data.http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/gm2_abag.jpgThe height are in km so 0.172 means 172 meters.http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/gm3_abag.jpgThe split direction of the squares are editable for fu3 also.http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/gm4_abag.jpgThe texture is just a help to synchronize the terrain elevation with the picture. The export is using just the 3-d-model without the texture file. http://www.agtim.ch/fu3/gm5_abag.jpgI have uploaded this example to avsim library so you can run a test. The next version of GeoTilesViewer will follow in the next time. This will help to make better elevation parts for the new region. :-wave agtim

Agtim,You keep cuming up with the most interesting developments. And the most usefall for the long term futcher of FU3.Iv got my fingers crosed,Mind you, we could always cuver the bad pits with bildings ?OK not such a good ideer.glidernut

Hi Glidernut,Thank you, putting buildings or models on the pits may work also, but no runway. In the Geneva tile I have a pit at the end of a runway and this is very bad when reaching them, all becomes white.My last pits at the tests are very large but solution is on the way :-):-wave agtim
