Simple question, simple answer. Export the terrain to your desired format (.x, .my3d, .3ds, etc.) then check the tutorials on how to import said terrain using the getMesh() method. Coming straight from Tutorial 1:

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("20kdm2.bsp");
scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;

if (mesh)
    node = smgr->addOctTreeSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0));

For the 3d person camera, search (click "search" on the top menu) and put in "3rd AND person AND camera" in the text box then hit search. The top results will lead you in the right direction.
