Hi there!
Do you know a good program for Win95 (or DOS) to create the *.tga
files that moray reads as heightfields?
I tried photopaint but couldn't get very satisfying results...
PS: share/freeware would be great => me poor student...
Thanks

You owe it to yourself to check out the program Leveller.

One I really like ( but it takes some patience ! ) is John Beale's
"Heightfield Lab". Check it out at:
http://www.best.com/~beale/gforge/hf-lab084.zip
Also try Terrain Maker at:
http://www.itsnet.com/~varmint/html/tm.htm
Both are DOS programs. Heightfield Lab provides a command line (or
command file) interface but allows tremendous flexibility in
procedurally creating, combining and modifying heighfield bitmaps
while Terrain Maker provides a graphical inderface for "freehanding"
it if that's your preference -- it also depends on what you're trying
to accomplish exactly --- take a look at both.
Good Tracing,
George

Thank you both!
I prefer leveller since it runs on win95 directly..
