New Vue Python Script: Terrain Matcher
April 10th, 2007 7:53 pm
Have you ever wanted a plateau on your terrain that a building can stand on or to cut a flat road through a scene?
Here is a new Python script for Vue 6 Infinite and Vue 6 xStream to make doing both of those easier. It appeared as a work in progress yesterday (Terrain Sculpting Python Script WIP. I’ve chopped a couple of options out of it that were slowing it down. If I can think of a quicker way of getting the code to work I’ll add them back in later versions. The picture above is a quick test render of a standard mountain terrain that I used the script to cut a flat area for the house to stand on.
You can download the script from the impworks’ Terrain Matcher vue python script page.
How to use in 6 easy steps
- Download this file onto your computer
-
Create a terrain (at this stage you can scale it
but avoid rotating it) -
Place objects above the terrain that you want to
affect the terrain (don’t put them too close to
the top of the terrain) - Select the terrain to be modified
-
Then run script.
To run it go to Python -> Run Python Script
Then locate the file on your computer -
Answer the questions that appear in the pop ups
then let it run till it pops up to say it’s
finished

Thanks for this. I don’t understand the questions though … what does “how far should the match spread beyond the match to objects” mean?
Got it now thanks.
