Terrain TutorialsI have always had a thing for beautiful landscapes and as I have progressed with OpenGL, I have loved working with terrain and making my own landscapes. Some of them turn out really beautiful so I have decided to dedicate a whole section of the site to terrain generation for the use of ingame landscapes.

Classes - Lets get ready to landscape! ^_^ |
 |
Loading - Learn how to load in the heightfield data from a .raw file :-) |
 |
Rendering - Would be good if we could render some terrain wouldn't it? |
 |
Triangle Strips - Yay, we now have a heightfield made up of polygons, not points. |
 |
Texturing - Lets get some textures on our object, Yesh? |
 |
VBO's - Ooo, something new to the site ^_^ |
 |
Simple LOD - Really simple LOD to get us a speed boost :-) |
