Custom Mesh Shapes

[ApfelPresse]

Hi,
im new to Ogre and my language is not the best

My Problem:
I have a 2d Array which contains the heights of the map, created by the (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-square_algorithm) DiamondSquare Algo.
But I dont know how to create a mesh with vertex in Ogre.
Is there a docu how to set the Vertex Coordinates, Texture Coordinates, Normals and so on ?



thanks

Ogre Terrain component can handle height maps. Look at the sample.

Have a look here for a tutorial on the ManualObject class: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... e=Cookbook
ManualObject provides an easy way to generate meshes in code, using an interface inspired by opengl.
(Important note: the position element must always be the first, it starts a new vertex. Other elements like normal and texture coordinates can be in any order, as long as the first one is always a position for each vertex. The tutorial mentions that, but it's an easy detail to miss)

Here's a wiki page describing how to create a mesh by manually creating and modifying hardware buffers: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... e=Cookbook

The wiki describes creating a sphere, but the same technique can be used for any kind of shape.
