Hi,

I am loading a terrain into perfly, using the im format to drape a texture
over an arcinfo dtm. Unfortunately, the texture is quite glossy. Also, if I
just use an arcinfo dtm, I get no shading on the surface which makes it
quite hard to recognise the terrain.

Is there a way to add material settings to the im format to overcome these
problems? I'm using the arcinfo format, so perfly makes automatic use of
ASD. I also have the terrain as an obj file, but that produces a large
frame rate drop (obviously). Or do I have to write my own loader to take
advantage of both ASD and materials / textures?

Is there any documentation on the im format at all? I couldn't find any...

Thanks for any help,
Christian
