Horde3D

HI there

Using horde3d editor, I added a new terrain via converter on menu, I got no errors yet the terrain isn't showing up in the 3d view area.

Any ideas ?

Hi neighborlee.
Maybe you don't have a terrain shader in your project shader folder? Or the material for the terrain is not correct...

I chose particle1.material for the material, and heightmap.png ( my creation) for Height Map.

Am I supposed to supply my own terrain.material ( which now I see, does contain a detail texture, which I guess is why
my terrain isnt showing up) before adding to editor , and what about shader , is that solely to allow the terrain to work in horde3d given its shader based
system ?

I presume the detail texture can be just about anything, as long as its the same dimensions as the heightmap ?

Thanks so much for your quick reply ))

You may want to check the content directory of terrain extension's sample app to understand what you need to render a terrain.

There is a heightmap ( heightmap.tga), a detailmap ( detail.jpg) and a terrain.material.xml file, and I have placed my versions ( without changing anything)
in my own scene DIR. My heightmap now is visible , but the texture is still not coming in.

Must anything be changed in shader to get my detail map to be applied to heightmap in the editor ?

I did look but Im not understanding mechanisms involved apparently.

thx
