Populate:Terrain updated to v1.8

Mar 23, ’12 3:04 PM

I am working on big improvements for version 2.0, but it takes longer than expected, so I’m releasing some new features as a point release.

Version 1.8 brings performance improvements, redesigned UI and new features, like trimming to a spline shape (see image below).

You can download it here.

Legacy Plugins

Due to popular request, I added a page with download links to old plugin scripts I developed many years ago.

In my opinion those scripts are obsolete, there should be better alternatives around.

Populate:Terrain updated to v1.3

Sep 10, ’11 10:11 AM

This is mainly a bug fix release. There were some issues with localized 3ds max versions and exotic viewport configurations.

I also made some improvements to the meshing algorithms.

3548 people downloaded Populate:Terrain already. Not bad for the first week. ;)

Get the update here.

Populate:Terrain released!

Sep 6, ’11 2:02 PM

Populate:Terrain is a scripted plugin for Autodesk 3ds max. It assists in creating and optimizing terrain surfaces from contour lines or from existing meshes.

The quad based output allows for easier later remodeling, for example using push/pull painting. The regular face size reduces rendering issues (GI, displacement) and you can use Turbosmooth on it. It’s also a lot nicer to look at!

Free download for 3ds max 2010 or higher.
