Terrain

<HeightMap> - A 16-bit grayscale image in the png format, with the value of each pixel corresponding to an elevation in the terrain.

<ColorMap> - A .tga file which maps the color of each pixel to the color of a point on the terrain. This is used for rough texture, and can be used for example to make valleys green and mountain peaks grey.

<WeightMap> - A .tga in which colors (RGB + Black) are used to define which DetailMap to use on which part of the terrain.

<DetailMap> - DetailMaps are used to tile various objects across the terrain, for example of a patch of gravel: a local change in terrain color to grey, a normal map that gives the impression of gravel, and the corresponding materialobject which generate a "gravel" sound when interacted with.

Sky

<DomeTexture> - Filepath to the texture of the skybox. Some already exist in Data/Textures/skies/

<SunAngularRad> - Size of Sun in Radians?

<SunColorAngle> - ??

<RayToSun r0="0.0" r1="0.0" r2="0.0" /> - ??
