GeoTIFF for Europe

[Marcus Nyberg]

Hey!

Very nice guide you've provided at Fsdev, its fantastic to see that people share their knowledge.

I know how to use Gmax but still i get stuck on the very first steps of your tutorial for mesh. I want to make mesh for a island in Sweden, Europe and i don't really get it how to get the data you need for that?

Because there is a special mesh data file you need to get the map needed to be able to tell gmax to make hills right?

Very grateful for your help,

You can reach me at hejmarcusnyberg (at) gmail.com as well,

Thanks,
Marcus

I've been away for so long now I can't help much with the specific details but as you said in the post, you'll need a GeoTIFF. For data within the U.S., I used the USGS Seamless server:
seamless.usgs.gov/website/seamless/viewer.htm

Outside of the U.S., you'll have to do some research or ask at another forum. I have not worked on such sceneries.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.
