Re: [JAVA3D] Loading Terragen terrains

[Rolf Gabler-Mieck]

Hi,
there's a plugInn called ForExportOnly, it'll be able to export an OBJ...
(eg foundable at www.terradreams.de) also bmp, raw....so a possible
greyscale Image work arround would also be possible
but the exported OBJ wouldn't be a very nice representation of a Grid...
to much senseless x-y coordinates...I'd written a converter to convert
those
files into a VRML ElevationGRID, which is much more efficient for
loading time...
of course the amount of vertices stills, just a better format description...

let me know if you want mor help in this topic, terragen is one of my
favourite
app :-)

But I never tried the "HowDo" posted by andrew, sound good :-)
regards
rolf

How do you actually get the Terragen file to load in Java though?

Does anyone know how I can import Terragen terrains as a
Shape3d. What loader do I need?

There's a chapter on using Terragen in "Java Graphics and Gaming"
at http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/jg/

The direct link is to chapter 17.5:

(I haven't updated the online chapter, but the latest version of
Terragen has the option to generate orthogonal projections,
explicitly designed for extracting a texture from a scene.)
