Oh, I didn't know you'd made a DAT file out of that yet. I just visited
your site and was looking at that model. Very nice!
Would you consider contributing your model to my new village I'm building?
I'm trying to make it a screen north of Datsville. I'm gonna try and get
the floor bitmap from Datsville and line up the river and raillines as well.
If you have the original PGM file with which you created the terrain for
Falling Water, send that to me too so I can incorporate it. I've also
converted a USGS DEM file of Devil's Tower (in Utah, I think). I'm gonna
build my buildings and towns in and around that. I'll just paste your
terrain somewhere in there. Also, I'm going to try and take a screen
capture of a road baseplate and paste it onto some of the terrain so the
roads follow the contours of the terrain. Quite a project! But, since it's
all been done before, I'm sure I'll be able to get some help and/or
direction from you guys if I need it (hopefully).
See ya!
