[edit] 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.


[edit] 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.
  • Loc Y Noise Location Y value.

  • (see changes as you make them).
  • Generate Update the Mesh.
  • (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.
