Title: Repetitive running of smooth_eroe_etc.
Post by: bobbystahr on February 23, 2007, 09:31:30 PM
Is this a bug? It happens on both my machines the same way
1. Load/Generate a terrain
2.Highlight  it in the list
3.Add Operator>Smooth, Erode, Smooth Erode, what ever.
4 It runs and I add a Plant or a Population and every Operator I've run, runs again and eventually modifies my landscape beyond what I wanted. Am I doing something incredibly dumb?

The heightfield operators are currently in a pretty experimental state. Although you can get decent results from the erosion and other functions, I would recommend avoiding them for now and simply using another program with more control such as World Machine. These functions will of course be improved in TG2 for the final release.
