Trees and related
I don't know all that's out there, but here are a couple of suggestions:
The Silicon Garden, in addition to generating plants and trees, contains an
IPAS utility called "Place" for placing objects such as trees and shrubs on
irregular surfaces.
The new "Scatter" IPAS on Disk #6 of the Yost IPAS Boutique lets you generate
arrays of specific objects using an existing surface to specify distribution.
It generates the array randomly with some control. For example, you can take a
single tree and generated it over a landscape with random placement, rotation
and scale to create the effect of many different trees.
Both routines are available in the Yost IPAS Boutique. If you sent in the card
that comes with 3D Studio, you should have received the latest catalog last
week.
