[Plugin] Terrain Reshaper

[Aerilius]

I just used it for a terrain with steep slopes (a vertical rock face). The plugin has much better results than the polygon reducer (which produces many long stretched vertices).

I like your idea much! Maybe the vertex size should also consider the slope.

Didier:
I am inferring that this tool is like a re-topology process. Is that correct?

Maybe the vertex size should also consider the slope.

good thinking! could be quite difficult though, because as I understand it, it would differ completely from todays procedure of the plugin (which casts rays vertically onto the terrain). any ideas how it could be done (that the vertex distribution is relative to the terrain normals and not to the top view)?

[mitcorb]

I don't understand "vertex size"? Do you mean the interior angle subtended by its edges? Otherwise, a vertex is a dimensionless point.

[plot-paris]

sorry. I meant polygons.

Thank you so much.You make a good change.

I've used the original a few times and it's great for simplifying nasty terrain. Thanks for the update on it!

Hi SUCCESS01,

Download it from the very first post of the topic.

I need to eliminate the faces on overlapping terrain patches to be able to make one large clean mesh.

But when I run TR from the menu (after having made the two to a group and the group selected) its not happening....


It does show the "Computing faces area..." in the feedback part of the SU interface....but the pop up window doesn't show up...

What am I doing wrong?

thanx in advance

Thank you very much Didier..... Great Work!!!

please note: I'm going to leave this post as the issues are there but not at all urgent. I'm not pursuing reshaping my terrain because I think it is simple enough and nothing really is going to help it be any other than flat and boring.

I'm getting hangs at 8-9%. Will try with a smaller selection.

With a smaller selection, hang occurs at 85%.

Smaller still, it finishes. I thought I had given it sufficient time but perhaps not. I'll let it run while overnight.
