Re: [Nel] Terrain/Landscape changing

[Andi [ Debug ]]

OK!

correct me if i am wrong and yes both messages where still vague

do you want to morph terrain gradually
do you want to swap in / swap out terrain blocks
do you want to do it seamlessly ( ie between frames asynchronously )

the answer to all the above is yes its a jsut a matter of HOW thats the 
problem

manipulating the vertice positions of a pre lighted / welded bezier patch 
may have some strang results
and care would have to be taken to prevent tearing

swapping a zone out and loading another in its place is simpler but less 
visually effective

prehaps a blending of both methods would yield the best results and 
efficiency but would
require some mean coding :)

hope this answers your question
