[GD-General] terrain in a trackeditor

[Marios M. <ma...@ne...>]

Hello,

I am trying to decide on the best and easiest way of implementing terrain.
I have an editor which allows you to build an environment consisting of a
race track and
all the other stuff.

I've reached the point where i need to decide on the terrain ( currently a
flat texture).
The terrain has to follow the road surface and any objects. I am going ahead
with implementing
a UI dialog where the user can add more points on a terrain and adjust their
values. Running
a triangulation through the points i get a terrain. The user can then add
more points to get
a smoother terrain.

On the other hand i suppose the user can import an x file and use that as a
terrain (already implemented),
but will not follow the objects in the environment

any comments or suggestions?
thanks
marios
