Hi folks, im working on an architectural walkthrough, which is set in a hilly terrain,
1) i tried using terragen, but after importing it into max, the terrain looks very "polygonated", basically doesnt look as good. any suggestions?

2) I cant find any displacement maps, which would be localised, i mean i jus want to create terrain of abt 5 sq kms.

3) USGS site has only a few DEM files, and i cant seem to find the exact links, im lost.

Please help me out here! thanks in advance

Have you tried experimenting with the Terrain uhh "thingy" in max.

I think its under Compound Object.

Very easy to use.
