"but wait, if each point of terrain can only have one height value, how do caves and stuff exist??" what an astute question, hypothetical reader! and it brings us to the last major renderable object in WoW, the "world map object", or WMO. WMOs are how caves, buildings, and entire cities are stored

if you're familiar with how WoW looks, you might note that the colors in the above images are pretty off. that's because at this point, i was rendering geometry and textures, but doing nothing to handle lighting. all of that came quite a bit later, so for now these scenes will look pretty flat.
