:eek:  HOw do you do all that? I get horrible build times from a lot of lighting when it gets to IlluminateRawLightMap. You seem to do lots of these maps that pop up quickly one after the other but never seem to have a point.

The map geometry is automatically generated. The large build times are due to the whole map being structural.

Personally, I would never touch Gensurf unless I was doing a seriously massive terrain job, like an ET map.

I use a personalized version of SOC's terrain tutorial.

It's the technique described on his website: http://www.simonoc.com/pages/articles.htm
See the terrain blending article.

DASPRiD used this method in Ancient Remains.

Gensurf terrain is not randomly generated.

It is not random, but follows mathematical algorithms.

Or you can paint a greyscale heigthmap and use that in Gensurf, that's the way id Software did it for Quake III Team Arena's terrain maps.

I bet that if you toy around with Gensurf for long enough, you can come up with some pretty nice pieces of terrain.
