Terrain does not render?

[notchris]

Hey! This library looks awesome, but I'm having an issue getting the terrain to render.

If I zoom out a bit, I can see a white plane.

Thanks!

It looks okay to me. You're assigning white MeshBasicMaterial so color is just white everywhere. Additionally terrain is flat by default. But try change this material to some other (even "normal material" if there's no lights in this scene) and call raise method e.g.

const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(terrain.getThreeGeometry(), new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial({flatShading: true}));
const amount = 5;
terrain.raise({x: 1, y: 1}, amount);
terrain.raise({x: 2, y: 2}, amount);
terrain.raise({x: 4, y: 4}, amount);

then you could see something like this:

Thanks so much for the fiddle and explanation @hex13, this is awesome! Brings me back to my days playing RTC :)

@hex13 This has been super fun to play with. I wish I knew how to get it restricted to the tiles in roller coaster tycoon but alas I need to study more geometry math hehe
