Terrain Render 1 & Terrain Render 2

Like a kid I been poking around changing stuff, you know experimenting :)
Ben mention that torque has 2 terrain renderers. Number 1 is huge and I can barely follow along with it. But number 2 is easier.
Since so many other parts of the torque engine have been improved. A lot the features we needed are just hovering around the corner. Particle engine, shadows, TNL code. So it just leaves the terrain engine for me to learn from heh.
But if you had to start tearing one up which one would you chose 1 or 2.

TerrRender2.cc won't work. It compiles but it just crashes when you try and run it. It's essentially just a dead codepath that should probably be ripped out of the engine.

Picking it apart and seeing what HAPPENS!! :)
and just to remind myself any changes I make I have to a clean rebuild right )).

I've compiled with the removed code. The removed renderer was huge. This is a great improvement.

Ben is the MAN for us Artists with little programming knowledge but are too stubborn not to be poking and prodding the engine.
Thanks Ben :)
