Hi,
well this tool seems very useful. I have just downloaded it and wanted to give it a spin - but I seem to have come across a slight bug. I clicked on the help button. I then got an error message. This is it self wasn't a real issue but it kept opening more and more error message boxes and I couldn't close them. I had to log off of my account to stop the program. Anyway I'm going to continue looking at the programme - just won't click the help button anymore^^

Without the helpfile it's hard to get the idea behind the tool.
Once understood how SEED_IT works it's very easy to design a level.

You can open the helpfile also directly from the file system ("\help\help_en.htm" in the install directory).
Or you use the link from my signature

The help button just tries to open the default explorer with this html-helpfile, wonering you got a error-loop?

Well I've been playing around a little more with it and it looks pretty cool - there are only a few things that'd stop me buying it:
- how come it doesn't place the models properly when I offset the terrain in WED - or is there an option for that that I've missed?
- does this work with a terrain that has a multitex material applied? If so, how?

Anyway - nice work. This could definitely speed up the otherwise rather tedious job of planting a level full of trees etc.

[edit]I fixed this offset thing.

the material settings have no meaning for the seeding code.
If you use multitexturing (more textures per model, handled by a shader) and want to use one of the skins as seedingmap, just select the proper skin with the "Seedmap models texture id".

i downloaded it a few hours ago

your description and images are auspicious
i wish you much success with the sell of the full version

I've fixed the shifting and rotating problem.
There's a difference in how the engine caluclates min_/max_ values of models vs. terrains.
SEED_IT now (v1.0.9) can handle this.

Please download the up-to-date version.

thanx, mercuryus

This must be one of the most helfull tools maded with 3DGS, great work mercuryus !! I'm downloading the demo right now and I might buy the full version if the demo grants my needs
