When making an outdoor terrain, one where you'd put objects on,
would a matrix be best or just say a 3D model or something else.
Thanx.

For outdoor terrains its probably best to use a matrix as you will not need detailed complex shapes (just hills and stuff), try downloading a matrix editor like MATEDIT which make the process easy.

3d models though are obviously better for indoor environment though.

wouldn't say that, bsp maps are things you could better keep indoor, hills and stuff could also be easely done with .X models. check the code snippits forum for kensupens code if you have DBpro, else try this dll http://www.nuclearglory.com/

A matrix would be easier than an x model for hills because you can use the GET GROUND HEIGHT() command to find the height of the terrain instead of using maths to work out the height of a model
