Sandbox terrain issue
-
Hi,
I'm trying to create terrain via Su's sandbox, but I'm having problem in certain areas which comes out flat.
Is there a way to fix this ?p.s I've also tried to add crease that connects those corners, no luck.

This is a feature limitation (or how to say) of the From contours tool. Basically it means that the tool will always connect the closest endpoints it can find.
The "solution" would be to work with contours more densely placed and with simplified contours so that two vertices on the same curve are not closer that two vertices on neighbouring curves.
With simplified contours, you can even say a big sigh and start editing the mesh manually where necessary.
There is a plugin called "Terrain reshaper" that can make a nicer looking mesh of such TIN's.

Hi Gaieus,
Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't find those plugins helpful for my model. In the end I did it manually.
