Title: Height field output
Post by: mash on August 21, 2013, 02:46:09 PM

Hi, Someone correct me if I'm wrong. At the moment the only way to get a Height field mesh out of TG3 is to use the Lightwave output?
I would like to be able to output a proxy mesh for intergation with other 3d programs.
I know the FBX will only output camera and Lights.

Speaking of the LWO output is there any way to write a new mesh out put that will spit outa .obj file?
Thanks

Well, Why not not just out put a terrain mesh the same way you would a non Height field? What difference does it make?.. Not being snippy. I really don't understand what difference it makes? Please clarify.

Hi, no problem. Thanks I'll read through those links.
The reason I'm asking is the only way I remember how to epxort a mesh was by using the export LWO node.

Hi,

We have an import/export reference here:

The most detailed information about exporting terrain meshes, as opposed to heightfields, is on the Micro Exporter node page:
