Title: Very big heightfield and planet curvature
Post by: MF_Erwan on January 17, 2009, 04:18:55 PM
I'm loading a very big heightfield (in fact, one of Valles Marineris), and I would like it to follow the planet curvature...

I thought someone mentioned this before and I don't remember a resolution.  If this is "fixed", then we would be able to make huge terrains and do planet-wraps.

In the Displacement tab of the terrain, uncheck Flatten surface first
