I would normally browse a forum for answers first, but this is particularly specific.
Basically I work for a Water Feature Specialists, and we are looking to branch into producing 3D renders of childrens water play parks for prospective clients. I have been playing with 3D Studio Max but have really come up against a wall when it comes to one specific (and VERY important) part of the process. The main target for us it to produce 'insitu' renders showing the features within the existing terrain (Including the levels) so the client can get a real feel. Obviously, this has proved VERY difficult for me to produce in Max, and a friend pointed me toward Terragen. I am fully able to produce my own contour drawings within AutoCAD (Infact I am FAR more able to understand and build contour drawings than I ever am at making the landscapes in 3ds Max). I was wondering how easy it would be to import this kind of information into Terragen to produce a model for me to work on in Max. How does Terragen handle level/contour input?
Thanks in advance!
