What is the best way to generate a terrain given a rectangle/or a rectangular mesh ? Thanks for any ideas. Neo

Use Perlin noise to generate the terrain, there''s a great tutorial on it at this page: http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/

basically if you use that you''ll have a nice random terrain might put up some screenshots of my recent escapede into terrain rendering soon.

Thanks, Daemin and Lunasol. I haven''t read the articles yet, but from the front page itself, I can tell it''s going to be a fun reading.
