Terrain export

[YouGroove]

Be able to export terrain from editor to Obj or FBX, it would help a lot to build a race track or to make roads or paths on Blender for the terrain.

Are we able to get the terrain triangles (3 vertex coordinates per face) in the undocumented commands? Or does the map load function get the terrain via the hook? If so, I could code this for you.

maybe there is a way to make a raw highmap file from blender or bryce and import then into terrain.

import/export map with fbx is a nice to have.

It's a suggestion only, instead save your time for your project gamecreator

 

And i have another solution that is to make the terrain level rough shapes in Blender and make the road track, than export only road track Fbx , than make detailled terrain in LE3 adjusted to have the road model fitting it.

I really wouldn't mind the challenge and I don't think it would take long. I worked with OBJ files before too (reading in vertices for a project). I just need help with getting the vertices from the terrain in either of the ways I mentioned above.

 

Edit: tested the map load hook and it doesn't catch the terrain.

Edit2: ForEachVisibleEntityDo seems to catch the terrain patches though

I think i will work as easy and fast using the second method without needing any export :

Anyway, i must be the only one asking that feature also.

I took a shot at this but even though the pick returns an entity, I can't get to the surfaces. I don't think casting to a Model is right (and it returns gibberish for the surface count anyway).
