Hi there people. I was wondering if anyone coul guide me through creating the simplest landscape possible, which is the non-voxel landscape (starting with a simple pixel-plotting landscape and going into a polygon based one). Then I''d like to see how the voxel landscaping works. If you could ICQ me at 22391106 and help me out that''d be perfect. If you don''t have ICQ, any tips, hints, techniques, ideas, anything, are welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read this message, and replying if you have any ideas how to works this out. Thanks! ..-=ViKtOr=-..

Creativity is a bloody nuisance and an evil curse that will see to it that you die from stress and alcohol abuse at a very early age, that you piss off all your friends, break appointments, show up late, and have this strange bohemian urge (you know that decadent laid-back pimp-style way of life). The truly creative people I know all live lousy lives, never have time to see you, don't take care of themselves properly, have weird tastes in women and behave badly. They don't wash and they eat disgusting stuff, they are mentally unstable and are absolutely brilliant. (k10k)

After looking at the "Voxel Landscapes" link, I think I recognized something. Isn''t this the same technology that MythII uses in it''s game?
