Index

Chapter 3. Heightmaps

In GROME, scenes are created using combinations of fractal filters, fluid erosion, and hands-on brushing. Making natural looking terrains is easier in Version 3.1 thanks to the addition of flowmaps which simulate nature's process of water erosion. Heightmaps are edited from the Tools panel on the right-hand side via the Modifiers tab.

Richard A. Hawley

Richard Hawley started programming in the early 1980s at the start of the home computer craze with the Sinclair ZX-81. Before leaving high school he had worked on three game projects for Assassin Software and later worked on conversions of classic strategy board games for 8- to 16-bit machines. He went on to develop end-user tools for popular flight simulations including Empire Interactives Enemy Engaged helicopter series and the highly successful Origin Janes Longbow series (MissioneerPlus). Hes the director of Tricubic Studios, a small UK company dedicated to creating simulation and training environments using off-the-shelf 3D engines including Unity and Leadwerks. Together with technical artist David Hopkinson (Total War: English Civil War conversion) and physics guru Fred Naar (creator of Helicopter Total Realism for Microsoft Flight Simulator X) they are collectively known for their work on helicopter simulations.
