Hi all,
I know it sucks your first post being a request for help but I really need it.. I want to recreate my local town and a route from my town to another town (Newark to Southwell) which I travel on often and then put it into a game called Rigs Of Rods.
I have used L3DT numerous times and made many a map for RoR with this lovely program however I am yet to recreate an actual place.
I want to use googlemaps or a online map to create a heightmap so I can make the basic map then add details using the Saphire plugin.
Once I have fine tuned the terrian using Saphire I want to add roads , I saw a great tutorial which I am going to use when doing this, but I was wondering if there is anyway to add a map as a blueprint to then add roads using this blueprint to make sure my map is a precise respresentation of the real route!
So in short, can I use google maps etc to make a heightmap so I have a nice map which represents the real place? And then use a map/ariel view as a blueprints to use to make landscape features and roads in a precise location?
Thanks a lot if you have managed to read this far!
