Height Map

Height map is a grid of points which are triangulated to form a surface. Since it is axis-aligned, collision checking is very efficient and it is a recommended way to create a terrain.

You can get the following two properties from a heightMap instance

• height: getHeight()

• normal vector: getNormal()
