    Best method for loading terrains in your game?

    Reply Quote

    I was wondering what would be the best method of loading a terrain into an XNA game.  Is it better to load a hieghtmap and let the engine generate the terrain or to just load a geometry file like .x?

    How does this effect terrain collison detection?  if at all.  Is it quicker using the .x files?

    Check out wither Riemers Terrain tutorial www.riemers.net

    or try Clydes Quadtree project, which also involves using quadtrees with a terrain, very important www.codeplex.com/quadtreeload

     

    Hope this helps
