I think that’s a perfect commercial compensation for something that can be expanded on in such a way. Keeping it free and open source really helps with feedback and letting people see how it works before deciding if they want to go commercial or do a few small things on their own.
Thanks!
I would love to try it. I’ll have to get it all set up and mess around with it. Might be a bit though as I’m currently struggling with 3d modeling for my personal project. I cannot guarantee a time frame but will certainly let you know what I think and what I feel about it as soon as I get the chance to play with it!
Of course, and good luck with the modeling!
I was curious re-watching and looking over the video, I was curious if there was certain criteria that needed to be met for the water to be brought in? I might’ve missed it when looking it over again to which I apologize if so.
The plugin actually doesn’t support water, sorry if the video gave this wrong impression. The heightmap that I imported using the plugin is flat at the location of the lake, so I just added a simple cube (and a cylinder to cut out a part) to make the water. I edited out this part by mistake when doing the video.
However the plugin can import “paths” or “ways” from OpenStreetMap, so I guess you could import landscape splines corresponding to rivers and then do something with these landscape splines.
OpenStreetMap also has data for lakes and water bodies, so even though this is not supported at the moment, the plugin could do something with this data. (Tell me if you have something in mind!).
