Which terrain editor works best with Irrlicht?

Post by Jesterstear »

Hey guys, I have a quick question.

What would be better for Irrlicht, FreeWorld3D or T.ED?

The reason I ask is that FreeWorld has all this mesh support and such, but would this really benefit in Irrlicht?

And T.ED seems to be slowwwwwwww but people say it is really good.
And I cannot make a 512x512 map, it is using X and Y tiles....which is a bit weird.

If you don't use either of these, which would you recommend?

depends on what you need it for, what you need it to do...
if you're looking for me, start looking on irc, i'm probably there.

I went with T.ED.

Why was this moved to Game Programming?

Well, it was written in B3d, not c++ :P. but Slow? shouldnt be -that- slow what hardware are you using and how big is the map? :shock:

eh? should go any size hardware willing. The reason it is in tiles is because its better for dynamic loading in many engines.
C++/Irrlicht Noob pl3se B p4t1ent.

Because it's a general game programming question.

I personally use Earth Sculptor, but I heard that T.ED is good too.

3d world studio is a map editor though.

EarthSculptor does look really nice to.
