Hello
i was just wondering how the numbers for the terrain data in moon buggy are gotten i tried adding my own number and got disasterous results. the track got really pointy and the buggy couldnt go up. so if anyone can tell me what the best way to get the terrain numbers, that would be great!!
thanks

Re: moon buggy terrain data
Is there an easier way to make that terrain... Or can you post a link to a tutorial that explains how to do it?
Thanks

Those are the two most useful perlin noise links I know of. They are both for 3D noise, but it's easy enough to simplify it down to 1D noise that you can use for terrain.

Re: moon buggy terrain data
it is still kind of confusing. Let me see if I understand... They are pretty much random coordinates?
Thanks

Perlin noise is psuedo-random, but with elements that are of similar size.ɹoıɹɹɐʍʇsǝןʇʇıן wrote:it is still kind of confusing. Let me see if I understand... They are pretty much random coordinates?

Re: moon buggy terrain data
1D Perlin noise basically looks like a sine wave, but the bumps in it don't always happen at the same intervals.
