Re: [Algorithms] Terrain Organization

Hi,

I'm new to terrain rendering, but at this right moment I was reading an
article about ROAM ; looks very interesting and not so hard, when it's well
explained as it is on
http://www.psky.com/prog/terrain.htm
Have a look !
It seems that you do NOT have to reconstruct all the stuff for each frame,
and it's precisely one of the interests of ROAM.

Good luck.

Fred
