Well this is the source post for my terrain and road map stuff. I will briefly describe what I have added and then onto where the source download is. So all I have done is add another Vector4 to the vertex element that holds the weight of the given road texture to be drawn. This then needed a new string...

I know, how many times can a guy extend a terrain class!!!!? Lots I guess, this extension to the class and shader adds another map image that I call a road map. As you can guess this image holds a map of where I want to draw roads on my terrain. It is made up of four colors, Black (no road), Red (road...

Naturally the class' have had to be modified to pass the fog parameters and I have added a global static class that...

Also included in this example are my terrain shaders along with the modified bump maped versions of...
