Terrain based on DEM datas + multi-views

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hi everyone,



This is my first post on this board because I'm working on a simple flight sim and I'm looking for a 3D engine :slight_smile:



I'm a beginner on this side of technology and I would like to ask to you some advices.



I would like create a terrain based on DEM datas and phototextured with Google/Yahoo/Terraserver/… services.

Which tool do you use to do the job ? I'm trying for now some tools like Terragen e.g. (limitations: free if possible and linux/osx)



For the first version, I will only have an external view but I would like experiment multi-views on networked computers.

I have an idea to do the job (an engine on each computers and sending behavior vectors to each object in movement) but I didn't study your APIs yet… is your framework offering some facilities in this area ?



Thanks for your time and, of course, for your work.



Christophe.

The DEM based terrain should be cake using the height-map based terrain class. For the network scenario check out Darkfrogs' JGN API for use with jME. I think you would be happy using jME, if it doesn't do ALL of what you need, you'll sure get the help you need here in these forums.
