Comments on: InnerWorld: a Landscape Generator

New features for InnerWorld can be found in release 0.0.6. The generator can now be used to populate the virtual world with objects. Procedural object placement can be defined like mesh generation by using a graph editor. Different noise sources and operators can be arranged for procedural content creation.

Only creating terrain meshes is not sufficient for a landscape generator. A lot of objects have to be placed in the scene in relation to the terrain. This can be done in a procedural way. One or more output nodes of the acyclic graph can be used to duplicate predefined objects all over the scene.

Procedural object placement uses algorithms for Poisson disk sampling, grids and spirals to duplicate a master object several times into the scene. In most scenes each duplicated instances should slightly differ in their appearance. This can be simulated by applying a small amount of randomness to every single instance. This jitter affects scaling and rotation.

@Jogai: this script hasn't been updated for a while, so I'm guessing that when this guy was working on the script, 2.36 was the most recent version.

You dont have to pay to get the most recent version, so why use some people an older version of Blender?

Yes it does. I tried it and, frankly, trying it yourself would take about as much time as typing in that comment ;-)

Hmmmmmmm…..he says it needs Blender 2.36.

So will it not work on newer versions?

This looks interesting. His site, however, lacks a gallery of some sort to give an idea of the types of things that can be done with his tool. That would go a long way towards generating more exciting for his project. Maybe we can help him with that…
