Everyone okay to include that in the toolkit ?
I’ll take a look at it this weekend.
In fact I was just toying around with the terrain code in combination with textures. So if it uses original xith terrain code, I would welcome the inclusion. If it is some other implementation I would like to incorporate the possible optimations into the xith terrain, but I would like to avoid two different terrain implementations in the toolkit, so please wait a little.
My goal is to reacvtivate the existing terrain code and write a litte howto/tutorial on using it in XIN.
+1 Waiting (and adding?)
Looks like a nice and clean usecase of the xith terrain code. If you don’t mind, I’ll do the conversion and add it to the cvs.
thumbsUp for finding this.
OK, +1.
Amos, did you contact the author of this regarding the toolkit addition? If not, we migth first ask him 
Do you have any contact to mike or his e-mail?
Which license does this code carry?
One source reproduces the original Xith3D copyright notice with an addition “modified by”. The other source does not contain any statement. I think this means “Take it and enoy” ;), but I think it would be polite to contact him about. Btw. there is an email in the source, so if Amos has not contacted him, I’ll do.
I just ported the code and I must say, that there is not much in. Also it’s quite “hackish” code. I don’t think it’s worth the addition anymore.
I rather create a terrain example with a skydome, trees and foliage, so users have a real start.
OK, good luck.
