Hi!

I'm using an height-field in my scene, and I want to translate a couple of
objects in the Y (vertical) coordinate using the same ammount as defined in the
height-field.

As a typical scenario, I have an height-field with a grass texture, and I want
to fill it with flowers.

Thanks in advance,

Hugo Sereno Ferreira

look into the trace() function. It is what you are looking for.
