What is T2?

T2 is a program for generating terrain textures from heightmaps and inputs (texture, colour or noise). Parameters can be set per input to define how much they influence the output. The man parameters control height and slope ranges but there are many more options available for fine tuning the output. In addition T2 allows you to view a 3D representation of the world and export the mesh.

Getting Going

  1. Click the load button at the top left of the T2 window and open the Island project
  2. T2 will now open its main editor window.
  3. Click the Create button in the toolbar and accept the settings.
  4. T2 will now create an output texture, a lightmap texture and a blended texture.
  5. Click on Show Mesh and accept the settings
  6. You can now see the texture mapped onto a mesh created from the heightmap.

To view the full help system press F1 anytime while in T2.
