Hi, I'm new and just want to ask a question, Is there a basic file code here where I can learn how to load a terrain. Like I want to know where will be a good starter point, what I want to do is have an exe open a 3d terrain by blander and just have one cam that you can look around, I'v been a programmer for 14ys but I have not tried blitz yet, An now sent it free I really want to use it know to create a 3D game, I have made a 3D game in visual C++ and C# but never Blitz. Thanks You very much. :)

There's the 'castle demo' that comes with Blitz3D that should give you the basics. It's a little Mario type guy running and jumping around a terrain model.

I'd recommend JNoodle's tutorials:

There's a few examples of working with terrains in the 3d samples that came with the Blitz3D install. You can find the samples via the main help page in the Blitz3D editor's help section. Here's same good examples (you may need to change the filepath for your system).

C:\Program Files (x86)\Blitz3D\samples\mak\castle
C:\Program Files (x86)\Blitz3D\samples\Hi-Toro\Death Island
C:\Program Files (x86)\Blitz3D\samples\mak\driver


For some of my code that shows how to do mouselooking and move around in an environment check the link below (note that there's currently no gravity in that code example - I might add some fake gravity with the ability to jump later today).

Here's a link to some code I wrote for generating the hightmaps used with terrains.
