Title: Mountain_Creation
Post by: kandy on June 20, 2013, 07:32:43 AM
Hello Everyone
                              Is it possible to create a mountain automatically from co-ordinates. Say i  want to create the rocky mountains and if i feed in the exact co-ordinates  of the rocky mountain into terragen, then would terragen create it . At present i am not using terragen, but would like to know if this is possible.

Thank you..

You can download accurate Digital Elevation Maps of pretty much anywhere on earth in a variety of formats and these can be loaded into Terragen. You may have to convert to to GeoTiff or DEM in an application such as World Mapper ( there are similar free versions). These can then be resized and re-positioned, or automatically positioned in their correct positions on the globe.
Check out the resources at USGS.
