This is a __paging landscape plugin (and editor)__ by ((User:myrddinson|myrddinson)).

It is a largely modified version of the Ogre ((Terrain Scene Manager)).

The Landscape Plugin can used by Ogre and ((MOGRE|Mogre)).

The editor will just work with Mogre.

Many nice screenshots are in the [http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=40287|discussion thread].

Development state for plugin: 80% ... state of July 2009

Development state for editor: 20% ... state of July 2009

License for plugin: LGPL license 

License for editor: sold separatly under shareware license


__Note:__ After creating this wiki page nobody was interested to update its content. (lazy people!) So look to the [http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=40287|discussion thread] for the current development state.

!!!Demo
A first demo you find in [http://dl.free.fr/gRFLHp8Cc/MyrddinLandscapeDemo.zip|MyrddinLandscapeDemo.zip] (click ''Télécharger ce fichier'' for download)

You will need Microsoft .NET framework 2.0.

extract MyrddinLandscapeDemo.zip and run Demo.exe or alternatively run one of the Demo*.bat

If the program exit and complains about missing MSV*.dll, run included vcredist_x86.exe.

Press F1 for help in the demo.

Keep in mind that it is a demo and so there are still bugs...

Here is a list of bugs/artifacts that i know yet:

* minor water plane depth fighting glitches
* sun reflection need to be more realistic
* small freezes when camera page changes due to page loading: need to implement multithread async streaming yet
* minor shadowmap deph fighting

This demo is for personal use only.
MOgre and OGRE main sites can use it for free for showcase.
