About this tag
The heightmap tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions related to terrain generation and 3D rendering in web applications, particularly in the context of Microsoft Edge and modern web technologies. Content includes references to Flight Arcade, a web-based flight simulator demo that uses heightmaps for terrain. The tag also touches on historical comparisons with early 3D graphics in classic software like Flight Simulator. Topics involve JavaScript frameworks such as VorlonJS and ManifoldJS, and the evolution of 3D rendering from manual calculations to automated heightmap-based approaches.
Today is a play and learn day. Last month at Build 2015, Microsoft Edge was introduced using a new web app/game that reimagined the age old Flight Simulator in a web world.
