#3ds terrain generator?
16 messages in this thread
hey-i was wondering if anbody could offer some advice on what they feel is the
optimum terrain generator for 3ds. i need something that could do golf courses
to under-water to post-apocalyptic wasteland type-of-stuff.

Have you seen the sample images of world-builder yet?
yeah, i saw one of some mountainscapes, looked really impressive, id like to
definately see some more work done in world-builder… justin.
World Builder, World Builder, World Builder.
is world-builder the terrain generator thats being done by digimation? justin.
World Builder is actually made by Animatek, but is sold by Digimation. There
is at least one sample image on the IPAS library, and I have a few sample
animations I can upload as well (showing how to combine WB with 3DS).

Please do.

Neil,
I made a really small animation (just my Martian landscape with spaceship
landing) that shows merging animations from 3DS with WB with shadows and it's
over 4 meg compressed! It's really not all that spectacular (more
illustrative) and I hate to see someone spending the money to d/l it — maybe I
could put a warning on it.
If you don't think you're ready to show it yet, don't worry. I know it takes
time to get used to a new program. WB is just an ongoing interest of mine. If
anything cool is produced, I'm sure you'll upload it anyway.

Have a look at Vista Pro. You can find sample images in the VRLI section of
the GRAPHVEN forum. The program cost about $120, can create fractal landscapes
as well as use USGS and NASA data. Writes DXF files.

ive used an earlier version of vista, but i havent seen what it can do lately
though…..i will definately give it another look. thanks for the assistance.
justin.
Y'all,
Vistapro is now just a toy compared to WorldBuilder. I've got both and WB is
truly amazing. Grass with proper shadows that moves in the breeze, water
ripples, fog, that sort of thing.
I'll upload some more samples over the weekend.
Later everyone!
Mark…Hello again from Kevin.
Could you upload a still of a "Worldbuilder" example? I've been
kickin' around buyin' this one, would like to see what it can and can't do.
Thanks loads…Kev
Reread your message. Never mind.

No prob!
I am still trying to find some time to generate some WB samples with 3DS
objects in them. I try and get to it ASAP.
Cya!
