    I spent the last few days looking for a way to find an alternative to Terrain.Party being down for several weeks.

    I put together some pdf tutorials, in case anyone else wanted to use this system. If I made a mistake, let me know and I will fix it. Most people probably already know this, but spent days looking for a way to convert the hgt to get them into Unity and have them look right without spending a fortune on expensive software.

    Makes use of the 3 second arc DEM (Digital Elevation Models) files. The software used to get it into Unity is FREE and the links are included to the software and two different DEM file sites. Only two programs (and Terrain Composer 2 if you use the second method) are used. It's a fairly simple method. I tested everything for both methods (for those who don't use TC2) in Unity and I was happy with the terrain.
