Basic question about Terrain and OgreNewt

I want to do a Downhill skate game, like a car game.

I want to have several tracks for the game, that will be a road in a hill...
I don´t know how to do the terrain:
- Using heightmaps? I don´t know how implement it.... Any help???
- Using simple mesh with (CollisionTree type)..... Is this a good idea for my purposes???

Thanks again!

Take a look at this post http://www.ogre3d.org/addonforums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11696 specialy the one made by chookaa.

Ok, thanks.

But Can I control with heightmaps by some way the circumstance that my "rider" goes over the road or over the grass???? (it isn´t the same, in the grass.... the rider falls )

Any help? Thanks!

I think you only can do that with materials, one for the grass and another for the road in that case i think heighmaps can't acomplish that.

You will need to use Material Pair and to write your own code in material contact callback and check if contact happen on grass or road if so you trigger some event...
