    I need some answers....

    I can get the elevations for the landscape, but I need to be able to draw them in OGL. What code would I use to draw a scene textured with the bmp "grass1.bmp"??? This scene must use the elevations (tmpElev(0 to 5,0 to 5))

    Thankyouinadvance

    If I am not being clear enough, it needs to be an elevation matrix, if you use that term.

    I need a subroutine to call...

    DrawMatrix X [center X], Y [center Y], Z [center Z], tmpElev(0,0) [refrence to array]

    and it would draw it for me....

    Thank you!

    Are you going to make polygons this time too or do you want smooth elevations?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I was going to start with polygons, but would smooth them out. OpenGL has a function for that, doesn't it? If it doesn't, I intend to smooth it out (a good example of terrain i want to do is Zelda: Ocarina or Zelda: Mask.

    To answer your Q, smooth.
