niektb Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi everyone,I just wondered: Are there features planned for importing terrain textures generated by programs like World Machine, Geosculpt etc.?Regards,Niektb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Most of them aren't likely to be compatible with our license + wouldn't they be huge/i.e. non-tiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Also, if it's software made, we should be able to do it too (inside our code, so without extra download). I think we only plan to include some more textures created by artists (when they are needed). We should also think about file size. I think there are a lot of people who don't like to try it now, because it could be a huge waisted download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I've not used geosculpt, but if i remember correctly World Machine creates one texture for the entire map - which is very different from how Pyrogenesis does it. Maybe there might be a way to reuse it, but at least in the case of World Machine I seem to recall the license not being anywhere near compatible with our license.

niektb Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Maybe we could look at FeXor's realistic terrain demo and extend the functionality?Otherwise, there are plenty of terrain texturing algorithms:https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=JwkJU8faHsWb1AXfjoDQBw&url=http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/research/reports/HonsReps/2008/hons_0801.pdf&cd=2&ved=0CDAQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNE-8jA34eftFuryvo4yOoDsOYIwsA&sig2=lm8cAFM3OZ1llxjWMejJ1g 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
