I know I''ve been asking alot of questions lately but... Anyone know how they do those bad @$$ landscapes in games like Tribes 1/2? It''s not just a hightmap? Is it? ----------------------------- Blue*Omega (Insert Witty Quote Here)

They use some form of continuous level of detail. Look into ROAM and quadtree''s to learn how to do it.

Hmmm... ok, just thought it might be a bit more complicated than that. ROAM seems too easy.

Tribes 1 uses quadtrees (dunno about tribes 2)
So it''s heightmaps for tribes 1 (same, I dunno about tribes 2, looks similar though)
