I am creating an intro animation for a game I'm working on and thought it
would be cool to have a fly-by or fly-around of the main continent in the
game. I used a height feild to create the terrain as a simply greyscale
image, then colorize that image as a sort of "skin" for my height field. I
couldn't find any documentation on this anywhere and attempted to use a
image map which didn't work. Any ideas?

From the Insert menu:
// uses image color index as height, extends along X-Z axes
// from <0 0 0> to <1 1 1>
height_field {
png "plasma3.png"
texture {
pigment {
image_map { png "plasma3.png" map_type 0 interpolate 2 once }
rotate x*90 // lay X-Y image map down onto X-Z height field plane
}
}
}
All the best,
Andy Cocker

Another Andrew. I don't think Erf Merf is his real name (either that or
Andrew is a nick, ha ha) so he signed that. Guess you thought he was saying
yours.
