Example 12 - increase quality of terrain

[RainBoy]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use example 12 (TerrainRendering) to show pavement of road;
I have a problem with quality,
My project has big texture (2000x2500 pixels) and the Height map with the same dimensions. I need to create high-quality 3D output for it, high FPS is not necessary.

Could you help me with that?

Thank you,
Alex.

Well, just create the terrain then, what is the problem?

For creating something like a road you don't want to use one massive texture
You'd get the best results by using something like texture splatting (I've seen a texture splatting shader around here the last couple of days, check the code snippets forum)

Also, try to stick with power-of-two textures at all times, and power-of-two + 1 textures for heightmaps (eg. 257x257, 513x513, etc.)

I've tried to load texture 2048x2048 and height map as 1024x1024

All works pretty good on ATI 5850 with MaxLOD = 255 and patchSize = 65 or 129

Why are you using an lod of 255? Seven is tops in any case but 6 for a patch size of 65

To let the LOD algorithm work correctly your heightmap should always be POT + 1 (so in your case 1025x1025)
