    If you want to use any type of off screen rendering process, then frame buffers are probably the go for you. They allow you to render an entire scene, directly to a texture.

Terrain Level Of Detail http://www.swiftless.com/tutorials/terrain/7_lod.html http://www.swiftless.com/tutorials/terrain/7_lod.html#comments Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:09:16 +0000 Swiftless http://swiftless.com/wordpress/?p=265 Level of Detail is a means of decreasing the polygon count of an object to gain a speed boost in your application. This is an extremely simple take on this, which simply draws every fourth vertex. The best part is, that on such a large terrain, you don't even notice this.

They are extremely fast and effecient, and are meant to supersede Display Lists. So lets use them for our terrain!

A nice looking tutorial, and you will be seeing grass, mud, rocks and sand, but a bad texture and you will see just a bunch of colors. Lets add a nice texture to our terrain shall we?
