Re: Building Low Resolution Scenery

Norman,

Thanks.  I'll look into it.  I had messed around with xterra and the 
terra algorithm seems to do well at whatever you tell it.  For some odd 
reason I've never even looked at triangle....  Guess that's what I get 
for working graveyard shift so much.  :)
