The TERRAIN.builder is a tool to easily create 3D terrains from heightmap images.

There are a lot of possible additional features like multitexturing based heightmaps and slopemaps.

Here is a sample terrain generator, including 2 sample terrain RAW files:

terrainTest.zip (53KB)

  • Open the sample in Director 11.5.
  • When you run the movie, you're prompted to point to a RAW terrain image file.
  • You can make your own, or use one of the samples included in the above zip file. The very small one (64x64) generates a terrain that is ~8k polygons. The other is (256x256) and generates a terrain that is about 130k polygons.
  • Use the mouse to toggle on and off wireframe view.
