Ok
I am in the process of making a  terain engine  which i plan on making a
game on.
I have used a nice utility called  terain maker to make my image maps and
hieghfeilds i used it both for POV and  my engine.

If anyone knows about better progs  that  make both the heightfield  and the
colourmap  (I need this as I am using gourad shading)
please mail me !

If you want a sample take a look at

http://turbostorm.somewhere.net/ter.zip
(its an older version which the code has now been completely changed but it
gives a genral idea - it uses  Djgpp+allegro+p3d - on my links page)


Thanks a heap,
Oliver Batchelor

  I don't know for sure if this is what you are loking for but I stopped
by for a brief time yesterday and it looked promising. It is a suite (?)
of tools for HF color/texturing. The program is called the Genesis Tool Kit
and can be found at:

http://www.rhein-ruhr.de/~schrammel/genesis.html

 For other programs I have little experience with HF utilities other than
Leveller and it does not have built in color generating capabilities that
I know of. It will do anything else HF wise but not that. Take a look at
thursdays thread "Heightfield Help" in this news group. There you will
find several links to HF utilities that I posted for someone else.
