I am importing dxf files that are from autocad or ones I create in 3d-max.
The problem is
sometimes in the dem design module when i grid the dxf vectors i get seams
between the dems.
Any ideas? Is it a setting in the dem build panel?
Well, things seem to be working pretty smoothly with the new server.... >:-(

Your ski map looks awesome! Did you run the vectors through WCS? Or add them
later in Illustrator? And the texture is via a color map? Or did you use
ecosystems? Would like more details? Also noticed the switchbacking road
(fat gray line)on the far right could be improved graphically.

Subject: [WCS] Bogus Basin ski map
Check out the ski area map we've been working on:
http://www.bogusbasin.com/content/mountain_large.htm
This view is from directly overhead, which is nice for a mountain with
runs on all sides of a peak, like Bogus. The texture map came from a
air photo of some trees, and the vector work is Illustrator.

I'm flattered.
John Fielder has a good piece of advice: Film is Cheap. I shot seven rolls
of film in four days during this trip. I take every possible variation of any
shot that looks promising, and sort through the chaff after developing. It's
hard to tell what will turn out well until it hits the paper, so I go for the
shotgun approach.

We took a long weekend off a few weeks ago, and journeyed through Colorado
taking in the autumn changes. Took lots of pictures. Thought I'd share some
with the list.
Look in the Photos section:

Hope they inspire great landscapes.

I picked up WCS last night and forgot what a wonderful program this is.
Look forward to exchanging ideas with all of you. If anybody needs help
with Max, please ask.
I like this new Egroup software.

What didn't work when you tried colormaps?

Basically, you can drape an image onto an ecosystem with the texture editor.
Make the whole area you want the image to cover be one ecosystem. Then, in the
ecosystem editor, set that ecosystem to "Color Only" and click the "T" icon to
create a texture and open the texture editor. Change it from a Fractal Noise
component to a Planar Image, select the image you want, and the axis to drape
it along. Select the Lat/Lon bounds checkbox, and enter your latitude and
longitude boundaries for your image.

I want to drape a picture (saved as .BMP) over a certain limited area
of the landscape I am working with. I tried using color maps but
I have not been able to get WCS to read the header ... and so I
have been searching through the online manual trying to
find instructions for doing this without using color maps.
The manual (version 4.5) indicates that I should be able to drape
pictures over selected areas of landscape using the ecosystem editor
but the instructions are not specific enough to help me.
Help?

No. ;)
If we stay with EGroups, we can pay them a monthly fee to not advertise on our

EGroups is having other problems, we may go elsewhere.

1. A toggle for haze on and off in render settings
2. A method, probably an animation style window, to turn haze, fog,
clouds on and off frame by frame in an animation sequence. Yes, I do
this mannually now.
3. We want islands to work when we vector in lakes.
4. The map view window to be equal scale n-s and e-w. Currently it
is equal angle representation per pixel. Try importing a circular
line, and viewing it in map view.
5. Hide the save image box somewhere other than on the render editor,
Save page, Who doesn't save rendered images anyhow? Maybe Z buffers?
A couple of times we've hit it by accident and it doesn't show up in
the "enable" window, render editor.

WCS does save the polygons in the 3ds file if you direct it to.
Have you tried opening the 3ds file is something else? Like Max? Maybe
Materialize 3D doesn't read 3ds correctly. I've exported lots of DEMs to 3ds
format without trouble.

Matt,
Let me know if you find some. We take our own pictures for our specimen
images for WCS. We'd be happy to collaborate in a project to collect and
build a library of coastal trees, particularly inside-the-stand specimens
exposed after logging.
