Paul, The Gridded Black Square to which you refer is the terrain grid - it can be independently disabled/enabled, and the size of the grid changed through the ...
I am going to composite a bridge modeled in Max 6 with a terrain exported from Max into WCS. It has been three years since I did this. Back then I used...
... Yep. Also, you can can use a dedicated compositing tool like Combustion to work with our RLA files and Max's RPF files. This is more interactive, but using...
... You've been with us that long? :O LOL! ... Correct... ... If you have v6, yes.... ... The difference is negligable. ... You shouldn't need the ZBuffer file...
... The last "Getting Started with VNS 2" tutorial, Post Processes (Part 10), explains the process and workflow starting with Step 16. The Interactive...
Thanks for all your help, guys. I did get it to work and it looked pretty good. To answer Adam's comment, "you've been with us that long?", well I've been with...
... Look forward to seeing it Mike. Great to hear 3DNA information sticks with you for so long even without using the product very often. Mindy -- Mindy K....
I have a folliage effect with 2 Spruce trees selected in the Foliage Objects list. This is assigned to a vector with three vertices... In the viewport, I see a...
... Universal Entropy. You've hit heads three times in a row. Each 'stem' location randomly decides which image it gets. Try jittering each vertex a smidge in...
Nudging the verts did the trick! As I scooted each one in the planimetric viewport, I could see the tree updating in size, flip and image. ... From: Chris...
I'm looking for sagebrush or desert bush images like Scott Cherba used in his Upper Sonoran-Pinyon Zone ecosystem. This e-mail and any files transmitted with...
For the proposal I'm working on, I'll have 3 camera views and 4 different bridge types. Each WCS composite rendering will take several hours. Is there still a...
... The ones Scott used in that particular ecosystem ship with WCS and VNS and are called "Bush1.iff8" and Bush2.iff24" I also have a number of hires sagebrush...
... Dunno about Max, but you can do this in WCS ;) ... Yep :) ... True. I have tried a test here for you using 2 RLA images - 1 of terrain from WCS, the other...
A while since this thread began, I know, but I had to devote my time to a different project for a bit. ... Yes, they were enabled for rendering. ... This was...
Hi there, Does anybody know what the steps are for importing SRTM30 data? I've tried to go through it with the documentation that comes with the data, but no...
... Should be straightforward. The steps necessary are on the ZPE CD if I remember correctly. Check the PDF on merging terrain using the DEM Merger - the...
Adam, ... Yes, but that was the 90-meter SRTM. This is the SRTM30 (30 arc-second I believe), which is a much less detailed dataset. It's supposed to replace...
You are, of course correct about the SRTM30 data, Hans...my brain was on a "go-slow" when I replied to your post. I'll take a look at one or more of the files...
... This is sort of a side-effect of trying to cram vector data into a conventional 3d format like 3DS. ... I don't have a great solution for this yet. And I'm...
... Well, since the format is the same, the basic steps should be the same, but with different parameters. No worries. ... I'm still trying to get into that...
My river bank has pebbles on it. These are very small 3d boulders in and Ecotype on the Overstory of my beach material. I want them to only be rendered in the...
I would change Out Low to about 5m and make your Out Low % be 100%. I would then change the out high to around 15m and make the out high % 0. With these...
... Good call... ... You know that the Input High and Low are in meters, so that suggests that they are distance based. The Dynamic Parameter is one of...
Seems like every time I save, it takes 5 minutes till my patience wears thin and I click the mouse on one of the windows. Then all of the WCS windows turn...
... I'm not sure why it would be taking so long to save, or crashing during saving. Have you tried letting it go a little longer and see if it's really crashed...
Hi, I don't rember if this is in WCS or not. I rember someone showing me a tool to create Craters in terrain. Has anyone heard of such a tool? Thanks, Mike...
... The DEM painter could probably be used for that. Also, I think there are a couple of Terraffectors (linear and area) for making craters. ... -- Chris...
Fortunately, WCS is saving the file! Otherwise I would be in a straight jacket already. I'm using WCS 6.3 I am using the Wildcat II 5110 card. I have set ...
