New Vue Python Script: Terrain Matcher

Have you ever wanted a plateau on your terrain that a building can stand on or to cut a flat road through a scene?
Here is a new Python script for Vue 6 Infinite and Vue 6 xStream to make doing both of those easier. It appeared as a work in progress yesterday (Terrain Sculpting Python Script WIP. I’ve chopped a couple of options out of it that were slowing it down. If I can think of a quicker way of getting the code to work I’ll add them back in later versions. The picture above is a quick test render of a standard mountain terrain that I used the script to cut a flat area for the house to stand on.

You can download the script from the impworks’ Terrain Matcher vue python script page.
