Guest Jim69 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hey I found this site Demeter Terrain Engine. Could we use/modify this code to create random terrain for Xeno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Both Demeter and OpenSceneGraph look like promising tools for terrain generation and object placement to me, but then anything like that does since I don't know much about it. But since they're both open source, I expect we won't have to worry about licensing issues. :happybanana: Unless a better tool set has been found, I agree that these apps should be considered.

Guest Jim69 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Basically they would need customising, we need to be able to set points where the terrain is flat for buildings and have these squares marked but it is a heck of a lot easier than making it from scratch.

mamutas Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Our own STJones has informed us that he has a code written for exactly the same purpose. But it would not hurt to look on alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Really? Could you ask him ( I know he doesn't frequent the forums that often ) if it is possible to add something in there to make an area completely flat? For building purpuses you see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I think that's what he means, it also creates the flat areas. I guess Scott could look at this other site and determine which would work better, and we could focus on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For building purpuses you see I think he is already aware about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
