Released - Ultra Scenery Toolbox Volume One *Commercial*

TotteTotte Posts: 13,971
edited October 2021 in Daz PA Commercial Products

This script package will add some new and interesting functions to those who use nd love Ultra Scenery.

First it will add a height map generator, with optional erosion, to get away from the sometimes rather flat sceneries. 
Second it will add a comples masking ability to build complex masks that can be used both to affect the heightmap, and to mask out ecologies.

This script is accelerated by the C66 Graphics Plugin that will be released on the same day.
 



Using masking and heightmap to make space for the secret watch tower...



Masks and heightmaps used here too



Only heightmap with erosion used here

    Looks interesting.

    Mmm, this does look interesting. (I'm too lazy to make my own maps very often)

    Looking forward to it. Very interesting.

    I think it will be really useful and eliminate a lot of trial and error.  I'm looking forward to it, Totte.

    I have similar issues!  The vegetation maps generator alone should make this worth the money. 

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Sounds really promising - could you tell a little about the C66 Graphics Plugin?

  • richardandtracyrichardandtracy Posts: 5,678

    Just a query: The plugin.. will it be subject to DAZ's ridiculous idea to prevent manual download on plugins that go into the program plugins directory? If so, I shall be unable to get it, I fear. I have a win 7 machine that is time expired for the web and an android tablet. Neither can download with any form of install manager.

    Otherwise, I am hugely interested. Looks like an amazing upgrade to the US capabilities.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    Thank you, and yes it is annoying when this happens.. :(

  • GoggerGogger Posts: 2,399

    I'll still buy it and hope for the plug-in to show up SOON. Looks exciting to work with.

    While you're busy irritating the sales guys, it'd be worth asking them to correct the 'Required Products List' to include the CS66 Graphics Toolbox too. It's not mentioned as a required item in the required items list even though it is in the description text.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    It's setup, but as C66 Graphics PlugIn isnt released, it fails to show on the the store page, as it cant show dependencies to nonreleased products.

    Works now for the graphics plugin... but no discount on this?

  • DoctorJellybeanDoctorJellybean Posts: 8,465

    The required plug-in is live in the store

  • TotteTotte Posts: 13,971

    Should be std 30% release discount, I see that when I look.

    Huh, why not debut new? We'd get a much better discount, like the other two products!

    I don't control marketing though, but could be a result of the issues with it not being properly released today at first.

    Can confirm it is there. Got all 3. The required plug-in doesn't show on the promo page, but shows in the store page.(As the difference between 30-46% is a couple bucks, see no reason to wait.)

    No worries, DAZ sorted the issue out, everything fine!

    I've installed the C66 via DIM and have two files ( Plug-in and plug-in SDK). When I select the Ultrascene and try to load Ultrascenery Mask builder it says that I haven't installed c66. Height Map generator also displays a general error. 

    What haven't I understood? What else do I need to do?

    Did you restart DS after installing the plugin? Plugins are loaded when DS starts up

    Ah! Thank you. That may well be my mistake! I'll try again tomorrow.
