T.Ed is a complete solution for making huge outdoor
worlds: The technique behind designing and using
terrain objects can be a minefield of choices, as
there are so many different ways of doing it! T.Ed
is designed primarily for games programmers and 3D
artists to make those choices easier. There are 2
main categories regarding terrains in games, 'Mesh'
and 'Dynamic/LOD'. T.Ed can help in the development
of both!
T,Ed is a dedicated terrain tool to allow the
creation of small to large mesh landscapes, either
as a series of blocks, or as a single terrain. It
allows for superb blended textures either by using
vertex alpha or by rendering a 'Supertexture' for
each terrain block. The software and exports also
take into account the problems of using
entity/texture alpha with vertex alpha, and has
features designed in to help eliminate those
dreaded problems.
T.Ed Can be used as a stand alone world editor or
as a wraparound for your favorite level creation
software: On it's own, it can now process props
like buildings, trees, bridges and even 3d sprites
or simple animated meshes like swaying trees! Using
the supplied code (darkbasic and blitzbasic
formats) you can reload everything from the suns
angle to the script on a prop, (ie the key number
required to open a door!)
If using as a wraparound, you can load in a
building/level from say.. CS4, self lightmapped
with it's own properties, place it on the terrain,
lightmap it to the terrain, and then put trees
around it etc. The best thing about the way T.Ed
uses the meshes means you can keep the
building/level's internal properties all the way to
your game world. Also, because ted's save file
simply references the mesh, any updates to the
original mesh will flow through, without the need
for re importing into TED!
Through an easy to use and learn interface,
featuring mouse look and game walk controls, you
will be walking around your virtual lanscape in
minutes.
