History: Heightmap to Mesh by MOGRE

Source of version: 4 (current)

This is a code snippet for ((Mogre)) which you can use to generate a ((-Mesh|mesh)) by a grayscaled ((-Height Map|Height Map)) image. 
It's useful to load a __terrain__ as mesh and was done by user [http://www.ogre3d.org/addonforums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=15172|noferat].

This code is a modification of the snippet ((Generating A Mesh)).

__Note:__
If you have some [http://www.ogre3d.org/addonforums/viewtopic.php?p=77696#p77696|artefacts], you should set the ''MaxMipLevel'' to 1.
