    Post Issues with 3d terrains

    For some reason it's very hard to get the camera angles etc. just right so the terrain is usable as a map. Sometimes the top view doesn't work and you have to tilt the camera angle to get the mountain shape to show. The problem here is how to make a 3d mountain that has the shape feel to it, and still be able to have that overview type of map.

    Just to demonstrate it (or atleast trying to demonstrate), I've rendered few images of the same terrain from couple of different angles.

    First one is the side view (mountain profile)
    Second one is the top view
    Third one is the tilted view

    Any thoughts on this issue? :S
