Generating terrains in Blender

[imagine]

Hi guys!

Since I had discovered the Import Terrain feature in UDB, I tried to use it instead of manual sector creating, but, alas, unsuccessfully.

Here is what I did, step by step.

1. Created a new mesh (Plane) in Blender. (Using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wqMvq5F2Uo)



2. Exported it into an .obj file. As the UDB help says: “The model should be triangulated”, I checked “Triangulated mesh”.



3. Opened UDB, created a new .wad and imported the terrain.



For some reason, If I left the scale factor untouched (1.0), the terrain was imported with just a couple of sectors. So I set it to 5.0.

4. Specified desired width and height (2000mp x 2000mp).



(I adjusted floor height and didn't with the same result).

5. And what I got:





Some strange triangular holes. And nothing in common with the original mesh.

I'm attaching the .obj file. The Noesis viewer (which I prefer for exploring 3D assets locally) displays it in wireframe mode exactly as designed.

What am I doing wrong? How do you create terrains for your projects?

I used your terrain.obj and imported it into an opened map with r4238.
The only difference was that I set the import to a higher value, it should
be around 500 to 2000 to make it interesting



It took ca 25 secs to load.



Then I change the ceiling to 512, changed the floor texture
and added different lightlevels for contrast



That worked out quite well.
