Don''t know if any of you guys have ever played this. I''m currently working on a terrain engine, and although I have it (sort) of working in a very basic way, I''d like to start adding features to it. At the moment, it''s a basic heightmap. I don''t even have any textures on it or a skybox around it. I''d eventually like it to grow to something approaching the beaty of Morrowind''s environments. Now, I realise that''s a tall order, but I''m accepting limitations such as: 1) I don''t really care about multiple zones. That is, I would just like to render a really professional small area, of a size small enough to load fully. No zone swapping. 2) Alot of the effects in MW which heighten the realism are particle effects such as dust and rain. I don''t need any of that. 3) I only need OUTDOOR environments - indoor is a problem I will tackle another day What I really need is a list of some of the techniques used ( or what were probably used, as I realise none of us is likely to be sitting on the source code at the moment hehe), so I can go google them and start to add things one by one. I''ve already started googling, but I''m being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of info out there. I''d like to sort of narrow it down a bit Thanks RM. ------------------------------------------------------------ Yes. it''''s true, I DO wield the ugly stick.

Will do guys, thanks much

go the telvanni and the its almighty tree houses in the western expanses

Keep in mind that Morrowind used a 3rd party rendering engine, NDL. You know, the same one that handled Freedom Force and Star Trek Bridge Commander. Neither of those games required any special terrain system whatso ever. My best bet is that NDL has some ''very'' limited options for working it.
