许多游戏引擎都提供了从高度图生成地形的工具。Panda3D 也能从高度图中生成地形，这里有关于地形的详细信息。对于一些简单的地形，更多的人喜欢用 model 来代替高度图。

主旨：

"Many engines provide tools to create terrain, and store that terrain into heightmap images. Panda3D can generate geometry for kind of heightmap terrains, refer to the Terrain section for more information. For many simple terrains, though, many people prefer to use a static model rather than a heightmap image."
