I used a procedure similar to this to create the Mt St Helens volcano regions on ScienceSim (with a few more similar regions hopefully coming soon). The hard part is to get the scale to work right after the fact. If you simply scale by some proportion (eg go for an accurate 1:100 scale) things ofte

On this topic, I am involved with a company that is doing exactly that -- using virtual worlds (OpenSim in particular) to model urban planning projects. The terraingen tool is part of that, but we're focusing on the dynamics of urban areas, traffic mostly. You can see the beginnings of that in a

FWIW... There are two "plazas" on ScienceSim that use terrain built from GIS data (Yellowstone National Park and Mt St Helens volcano... should be one more 4x4 plaza coming soon). Feel free to come by and take a look (hypergrid info for sciencesim is on the opensim wiki). If there is interest, I

I recently used this tutorial to import some USGS terrain into a few of my OSGrid regions: http://www.virtualwhite.com/?p=100 The process worked fairly well but I had some difficulty making a usable region as the scale I used was probably too small and the terrain was too coarse, but it does provid
