Terrain Following
Author
Hi, having a little trouble with terrain following i have a heightmap and i have located the cell and triangle inwhich i am on.
The quad is layed out like so:
V1 ----- v2
| \ |
| \ |
| \ |
v3 ------v4
I get jumping though and it doesnt seem to calculate the point on the triangle at all.
Iknow my maths is a bit funky, so please can anyone guide me?
Ash.
Suggestion:
If you have a heightmap and you are using this for terrain following only then you can use the heightmap directly. Find the pixel on the heightmap you are over, and then bilinear interpolate adjacent pixels and you will find the height without having to do point in triangle tests.
