/** Example 012 Terrain Rendering
This tutorial will briefly show how to use the terrain renderer of Irrlicht. It
will also show the terrain renderer triangle selector to be able to do
collision detection with terrain.
Note that the Terrain Renderer in Irrlicht is based on Spintz'
GeoMipMapSceneNode, lots of thanks go to him. DeusXL provided a new elegant
simple solution for building larger area on small heightmaps -> terrain
smoothing.
In the beginning there is nothing special. We include the needed header files
and create an event listener to listen if the user presses a key: The 'W' key
switches to wireframe mode, the 'P' key to pointcloud mode, and the 'D' key
toggles between solid and detail mapped material.

Here comes the terrain renderer scene node: We add it just like any
other scene node to the scene using
ISceneManager::addTerrainSceneNode(). The only parameter we use is a
file name to the heightmap we use. A heightmap is simply a gray scale
texture. The terrain renderer loads it and creates the 3D terrain from
it.
To make the terrain look more big, we change the scale factor of
it to (40, 4.4, 40). Because we don't have any dynamic lights in the
scene, we switch off the lighting, and we set the file
terrain-texture.jpg as texture for the terrain and detailmap3.jpg as
second texture, called detail map. At last, we set the scale values for
the texture: The first texture will be repeated only one time over the
whole terrain, and the second one (detail map) 20 times.

To be able to do collision with the terrain, we create a triangle selector.
If you want to know what triangle selectors do, just take a look into the
collision tutorial. The terrain triangle selector works together with the
terrain. To demonstrate this, we create a collision response animator
and attach it to the camera, so that the camera will not be able to fly
through the terrain.
