What I was thinking of doing down the road is using
some type of 3D tile set. I think the tiles could be
Terrain's or Mesh's. I played around with Carnivores 1
demo a little and found that all the scenes are made of
3D triangular tiles, stored in an array. Also has an array
of Sounds as well as Density, which corrisponds with the
tiles. So as you walk around you here different footsteps,
according to the tile you are on. And Density means water
tiles will have you sink. That system alows you to make
any type of terrain cause you to sink.
It uses another array for the hight of each vector joining
the tiles, to create the highth of the terrain.
How to impliment this in Blitz3d is a good question.
The Carnivore Demo can be downloaded from LINK:

The Area1.map file can be edited with a hex editor.
I use Carnivores 1 and 2 so much because they are good
examples. If anyone knows of another good outdoor type
game with exceptional and fast graphics please let me know.
Carnivores 1 and 2 were fast and smooth on my 350 MHz Amd K6 machine
with 4 Megs of video, that's what impressed me. What could
one do with these modern faster machines.
