As we’ve already seen quite some topics on texturing triangles, I’ll go over the first part on terrain texturing rather quickly. We’ll cover our complete terrain by a grass texture, which will be copied a few times over our terrain in mirrored mode. Of course, we’ll need a grass texture for this, which you can download here. Import it into your project, add this variable:
Texture2D grassTexture;
Let’s create a small separate method to load all our textures:
private void LoadTextures()
{
grassTexture = Content.Load<Texture2D>
("grass");}
And call this method from the end of our LoadContent method:
LoadTextures();
Instead of using our custom defined VertexPositionNormalColored format, we’ll do with the default VertexPositionNormalTexture format. Don’t delete the struct though, as we’ll adjust it in the next chapter. However, we’ll have to replace all instances of VertexPositionNormalColored in our code to VertexPositionNormalTexture. You’ll want to use Ctrl+H for this. Warning: don’t change the name of your struct into VertexPositionNormalTexture, as this will override XNA’s VertexPositionNormalTexture struct!
Instead of specifying the color of each vertex, we’ll need to pass in the texture coordinate. So this is the new SetUpTerrainVertices method:
private VertexPositionNormalTexture[] SetUpTerrainVertices()
{
VertexPositionNormalTexture[] terrainVertices = new VertexPositionNormalTexture[terrainWidth * terrainLength];
for (int x = 0; x < terrainWidth; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < terrainLength; y++)
{
terrainVertices[x + y * terrainWidth].Position = new Vector3(x, heightData[x, y], -y);
terrainVertices[x + y * terrainWidth].TextureCoordinate.X = (float)x / 30.0f;
terrainVertices[x + y * terrainWidth].TextureCoordinate.Y = (float)y / 30.0f;
}
}
return terrainVertices;
}
In the Draw method, we need to indicate that we’ll be using the Textured technique to draw our terrain, instead of the Colored technique:
effect.CurrentTechnique = effect.Techniques["Textured"];
effect.Parameters["xTexture"].SetValue(grassTexture);
You see we’ve also passed in our grass texture.
That should be it! When you run this code, you should see a terrain nicely covered with grass.

You can try these exercises to practice what you've learned:
Try changing the division factor in the SetUpTerrainVertices method. Make sure you try some crazily big and large numbers.
