  Texture Generation Utility
  Submitted by



I was just reading Terrain Texture Generation by Tobias Franke on flipcode today. I had written a similar utility some time back which had support for config-files and multiple texture images. The textures wrap around if the heightmap is larger than the base textures. I thought that ppl who're writing terrain engines could use it. I write and use most of my utilities in Linux. This one was hastily converted to win32 just for this post.

/*
  This is the unique texture generator for the terrain
  
  Limitations: The base textures should be in 24bpp format.
  and the heightmap should be in 8bpp format 
  
  Added config file support
