Hi All<BR>
<BR>
I joined the group a good month ago .. wondering how a tif-image could be opened.<BR>
Mission accomplished. <BR>
My 3D effords has been set back with with advent of my new labtop, win7 & 64bit. The DirectX3D library I used to use, vanished. And the closest I could get to DirectX3D was via the Microsoft Xna Framework. Is that the only way, or am I missing something?<BR>
Anyway, I've managed to make a C# window that can juggle the 3D data that has become available to me (aster dem distributed in the tif-format). It took some time to make my own custom-vertex-format work (position, color, normal), but it allows me to present 3D data as a 'model' of the reality not to confuse with a graphic representation that aims at displaying data as it might look (according to old geografic-book-coloring).<BR>
I downloaded uDig and had a look. My approach to this group is somewhat along the lines of my first impression of uDig: 'yes, it is something like that I want to make'. Except that geographic data should be looked at in 3D. So, however impertinent of me not to look through all your projects for myself ... does any of the projects use 3D? <BR>

I'm a bit hessitant in vounteering to localize your projects to Danish - I havn't got much clue of how many lines we talk about, and expect some need of understanding the projects themselves (to ie discern project code-keywords that should not be translated etc). Pop me some info or a link to where you work on the projects. <BR> <BR> </body>
