Hi! First, sorry for not being more active on the forum. I am really busy getting some cool Vue stuff ready.
I would like to discuss a interesting technique which permits you to seamlessly blend from a fractal node based to a heightfield based altitude within the same procedural terrain. This is achieved by defining an area at the center of the terrain that blends from fractal based to greyscale based altitude generation.
An example scene can be downloaded here. (28 MB, because it includes a high resolution heighfield terrain) The scene itself is kept very simple so its easier to see the principle.
The tutorial below discusses the function of the terrain and requires some basic understanding of the function editor.
The reason why I am posting a tutorial here and not elsewhere is simply because this way communication is easier in case you have questions.
Load the scene file (it might require Vue 7).
