hey ive had 3 people now asking me about how to do this and since someone asked me a few hours ago on youtube, due to my good Christmas spirit mood i made a quick run through of what i do to load a heightmap - terrain in db
using advanced terrain dll
this prolly wont help anyone and will be flamed at but some new person may benefit.
im gona link up the vid when its uploaded but for now heres the code.
the models will be in the same download as vid
(apart from i think i can get vid streamed, its 14mins which is too long for youtube.)
this isnt a tutorial, more of a run thro.
