SceneryDesign.org For the new scenProc feature to detect features from imagery I started to use the GDAL/OGR libraries. But since the OGR library supports reading many vector formats, I have now also add a new step that allows you to read in data through this library. It is called IMPORTOGR. The attributes are the same as […]
Vegetation detection tutorial
Here is the video tutorial I promised about the new scenProc feature to detect vegetation. In this tutorial I show how this new feature works and I also try to explain some of the theory behind it. I’ll try to add some information about this feature to the manual soon as well, as I know […]
FSDeveloper DNS problem
As already indicated in my post yesterday there is a problem with the FSDeveloper website. The DNS is not working correctly. We are working with the domain registrar to get everything working again, but since Christmas is approaching quickly now I don’t expect an answer from their support anymore before Christmas. So that means it […]
FSDeveloper offline
As you have maybe already noticed the FSDeveloper website is currently not accessible. The problem has nothing to do with the server, but for some administrative reasons the domain has been put on hold. We are working hard to reverse this and hope that the site is available again soon. If you want to keep […]
Detect vegetation from imagery
In the last months I often wrote about my progress of adding a feature to scenProc to detect features from imagery. My main purpose was to detect vegetation. I have now finished this feature and put it in the scenProc development release. Be aware that adding this feature meant I had to add the GDAL […]
Exporting FS2004 aircraft MDL files
One feature often requested is the ability to export FS2004 aircraft MDL files as well. I have now set a first step in the direction of this functionality. If you download the development release tomorrow you will see that you can export both FS2004 scenery and aircraft MDL files. But before you get too enthusiastic, […]
scenProc and tiny autogen buildings
A while ago I already wrote about the dangers of tiny buildings in autogen. The problem with those tiny buildings is that they will prevent other autogen from showing correctly in Annotator as well. Since some users reported such trouble recently, I have decided to automatically filter out buildings that are smaller than 1 meter […]
Prepar3D v2 MDL changes
When I released the first update for ModelConverterX that supports the new Prepar3D v2 MDL format, I had already found out two differences in the MDL format: The material definition has been extended with an additional attribute for the ZBias The indices of the triangles are now stored as int instead of short. This basically […]
Points in polygons
I have added a new step to scenProc, PLACEPOINTSINPOLYGON. With this step you can place points in polygons. This can be useful if you want to scatter objects in the polygon for example. As arguments the step takes the distance between the points and the amount of randomness you want to use. Below you see […]
I Prepar3D the tools
The new Prepar3D v2 was released a few days ago, so it was time for me to update my tools to be more aware of Prepar3D. For Prepar3D v1 it in general worked if you just set the FSX folders to the Prepar3D folders, but with version 2 there are more changes. Therefore Prepar3D v2 […]
