Hey guys, im a bit stuck, im making a small terrain editor(just for fun), now beforehand i used a matrix, simply because it was easy to put in, until i later discovered it was really hard to actually find the matrix coordinated correctly, so im having a go with a plain object instead, now i have already got the code in to find the mouse position, but im stuck with actually lifting the terrain, can someone offer some help, or point me in the right direction?

Sure thing... as I'm working on the same thing at the moment. Hoping to use BlitzTerrain to precedurally generate and modify terrains on the fly in the game engine, however have had a few snags.

Currently I'm using the Advanced Terrain commands and features in DBPro to generate terrains that look like this:



This is a rendering from today in fact. Attached you'll find a zip file containing the DBPro code, and the texture tiles and skybox used to create this terrain.

You can also loop up "Tersculpt"

The vertex commands are actually surprisingly easy to use. They're essentially the same principles as molding a matrix, but more flexible.

You simply lock the vertexdata, loop through the vertexes, and then move them, and unlock.
