SUMMARY OF THIS PROJECT

This project shows 3D realistic terrains for any kind of game. The project can load heightmaps in the next formats:

.TGA : TGA files of 8 bits
.TER : Terragen files of 16 bits
.R32 : RAW Data files of 32 bits

Once the terrain is loaded, the program will calculate his average normal vectors to maintain a realistic physical aspect to lighting effects. Moreover, it’s prepared to show the ground compressed or uncompressed, saving unnecessary polygons studying the morphology of the land. The terrain may be textured or non-textured, and has a second layer of colour, which can be changed very easy and be applied according to the terrain heights.
