                  Didier, you're the MAN! thumps chest twice with thumb side of fist

                  The smoothing can be done with Matt666's smoothing plugin, should work like a charm...

                          hi Didier,

                          I just wanted to clean up a terrain. I used the options

                          -create group: yes
                          -delete original: yes
                          -merge faces: no
                          -size 600mm

                          when it was finished it looked like this

                          http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/8200/meshmessij3.jpg

                          the original terrain had not been deleted. but the new terrain was incomplete where the old mesh was visible (see image above). no idea, why it didnt work. just thought I would tell, in case you have a clue. 😉

                                Can you show us or share the starting idea, I would like to see before you apply model with contours.(perhaps I've got an idea using your technic to model terrain).

                                After a few tests using different methods, I let you guess
                                who's who.

                                  good morning REGIS,

                                  the initial idea was discussed in this thread.

                                  for the who is who test - could you give us some multiple choice answers? 😉

                                      Didier, don't know if it's possible to do, but it would be helpful (me thinks) if the the script somehow retained the information collected at the "Parsing terrain.." stage, in case one wants to reshape the terrain again with, say, differently sized triangles.

                                        Hey,

                                        I've imported 6-7 GE terrain meshes, exploded them, put them all in a group, and then tried to run didier's plugin. 😐 It didn't come out as expected.
                                        The problem is, i think, that i didn't really merge the different meshes before runnig the script, and that all 6 or 7 of them reacted as independent meshes.
                                        Does anybody have a quick and easy solution for stitching together different meshes imported from GE?

                                        Thank you,

                                        Félix

                                          Hi Felix, I think that the problem is just that you need to select all the terrains you want to reshape and turn them into a single group. Then just select the 1 group and run the plugin. It will not accept a selection of loose geometry. Only a single group.

                                          Hope that helps,

                                          Chris

                                            Didier:

                                            Suggestion/Request

                                            When dealing with a large terrain surface, the Parsing, Triangulation, and Merging functions of the script can take quite a while.

                                            I was wondering if at the end of each function (before the user goes to the next) if an elapsed time could be shown. At the completion of the script, then a final dialog would be displayed showing the elapsed time of each function.

                                            This way, if you had to convert a series of similar terrains, you wouldn't have to wait around at your computer ... just go do something else and come back according the to elapsed times of the first reshaping session. 😄
