Introduction

Create ANT Landscape

• This Script Creates Landscapes.
• There are many variables that can be set.
• The landscapes can be tiled.
• Combinations of settings can be used.
• The script is not limited to landscapes.
• Tech Walls, Pyramids & more can be achieved.
• In fact this script has nearly unlimited variables.
• Experimenting is the key.
• The mesh is made at a high resolution.
• Often I use the Poly Reducer script to reduce mesh size.
• Let's have a look at the Interface.

Instructions

Interface/Menu Overview 1

• Download the script & place it in Blender's default script folder.
• Open the Script from the Scripts/Wizards Menu.
• The Script GUI will appear.
• Features: Sliders, Numeric Input, Buttons, Menu.
• Mesh Menu
• Ob Object Name.
• 128 Mesh Resolution.
• Solid Set Smooth or Solid.
• Quads Mesh Quads or Triangles.
• Vertsel Select Flat areas,
• (higher values selects more slopes).
• Tiles Generate Tiled Terrain.
• Randomise Random Noise.
• Auto Automatic Update.
• (see changes as you make them).
• Generate Make the Mesh.
• note, the mesh may flicker on creation.
• right click in the 3d window to fix this.

Interface/Menu Overview 2

• Noise Menu
• Multifractal 20 Noise Type Options.
• Blender original 10 Noise Basis Options.
• Octs Octaves.
• H Noise resolution/smooth/rough.
• Lacu Lacunarity,
• (Lacunarity is a measure of how data fills space).
• Rand():ble 3 algorithms for random data .
• Iscale Noise intensity scale.
• Inv. Noise invert.
• Offset Noise Offset.
• Noise size Noise Size.
• Size x Noise Size X value.
• Size y Noise Size Y value.
• Loc x Noise Location X value.

• (if auto is turned off)

Interface/Menu Overview 3.1

• Effect Menu
• No effect do not add special effect to mesh.
• There are 25 Special Effects that can be added to your mesh.
• Of great interest is the Image effect.
• Load an image to displace the mesh.
• The other effects are equally wonderful.
• When you add an Effect.
• An option appears to use the Effect only.
• Or the Effect will be mixed with other menu settings.
• This gives great scope for combination, custom landscapes.
• Each Effect, has it's own menu & settings.
• I will only document 1 Effect for practicality purposes.

• Sea level Terrain Height Clamp Min (Sea Level).
• Randomise Height Random Noise.
• Auto Automatic Update.
• (see changes as you make them).
• Generate Update the Mesh.
• (if auto is turned off)

Interface/Menu Overview 5

• Options Menu
• Preview image Preview Image on/off.
• See Image in UV/Image editor window.
• Load Load vertCol Gradient Image.
• Select Select vertCol Gradient Image.

• Enable Vertex Color gradient Image.
• Set Window draw mode Textured,
• Set Material Vcol Paint On!
• Randomise Randomise Noise.
• Auto Automatic Update.
• (see changes as you make them).
• Generate Update the Mesh.
• (if auto is turned off)
• Enjoy this great script.
• Many hours of fun can be had experimenting,
