Hi,
I've just finished an exhaustive search for a way to copnvert DEMs
(Digital Elevation Map)to the Povray heightfield Targa format. No matter
what program/s I use, the result distorts the elevation data in some way.
From www.terrainmap.com: all programs yield a "red" or "blue" version
of the "green" Targa map.
DEM2Pov: This common program is for 1:250,000 scale DEM and not the
1:24,000 I'm using.
SDTSEPOV: Sol Katz's program converts the 30 meter DEM but not the new
10 meter versions.
Arcview 3.2a: no go.
3DEM: no go.
dlgv32pro/Global Mapper: no go.
Wilbur: no go.
Genesis II: no go.
OSSIM: no go.
The same for others. Either the map is not correctly produced or a
grayscale limited to 256 "colors"/elevations results.
Either the 16-bit grayscale or a Povray Targa would work but, to date
only Sol Katz's program works and that, only with the 30 meter files.
Anyone know, by experience, of a program that will do the conversion?
Grayscale or Povray Targa?
Thanks,
Jim
