[Bf-committers] Google SoC idea

[Chris Burt]

I'm no developer, but from a user-perspective I would say this sounds
like a feature that should be kept separate from Blender. That being
said, it *would* be nice to have a high-quality import/export from
your implementation that Blender could make use of. I suppose the only
time this would become impractical would be if animating the terrain
were required. In that instance I suppose a modifier of some sort
might be in order.

Disclaimer: Again, I'm no codebase or architecture guru or anything
near that. So...once again, take my words with a grain of salt.
