Title: Terrain tools
Post by: Mid-Knight Acchan on June 20, 2008, 08:53:44 PM
Hello, all.
When I make a Japanese manual of Terragen2, I look at the various sites, and I turn around.
I found the interesting tool which made heightfield in that. 
If there is a person used this for, please tell an impression.

Please explain your question further.  I don't yet understand.

He's asking that if anyone has used this tool, to let him know their impressions.

I have used Leveller for years; it is a very useful tool and is under constant improvement.

I'm sorry in the question not understood easily.  :'(



I am using the Photoshop to make the Terrain map.
I want to buy if Leveller is more convenient than the Photoshop and to make a Japanese manual as well as Terragen2.
However, I am not good at English.
Before the purchase of this software, I heard the voice of the user here and wanted to make reference of the purchase.


Thank you gregsandor.
I will examine a little more, and buy it.  ;)


What is everyone using for the tool?... ???

To make terrains outside of TG2, I use one of these from time to time - Terragen .9, Geocontrol, Bryce or L3DT.  Using Photoshop is not a bad way to do it.

TG2, on the other hand, is a very useful tool to creating terrains with excellent displacements and useful controls.  This even includes functions.

I use Leveller for some things, and it's very good (especially exporting optimised meshes). But I don't feel I use it to its full extent by any means.

However, you should check out World Machine 2 if you're willing to wait for a couple of weeks.

I also use Leveller to convert terrain files from one format to another (Wilbur is also useful for this, and free).  You can also use Leveller to rectify terrain files made by other programs, or to resample the terrain at different resolutions.

Cheers

It is pleasant that I make it with only TG2 in various ways.  ;)
But import is comfortable to make form decided beforehand.

WM2!
Thank you for good information. I wait.
I test Leveller by a demonstration.

Thank you, everybody
