Terrain from contours - improve on native 'from contours'?

That's very clean, wow, this is awesome.

Adam,

Very cool working out the c-points method. I didn't realize those capabilities existed.

Fredo,

Thanks for interface video. Looking great! What you do to program this is so far beyond my ken....

here's a topo I just got from a survey company... if you need tests.

I imported the dwg file and found that most contours were interrupted in their middle. This is a problem for TopoShaper currently, at it allows topological communication between contours.

I just closed the missing links, and here is the result

Thanks again for this testing model

Yes, Fredo... No problem. That's where the road runs in the property. I just thought you'd like to get samples directly from surveyors. no touch ups. Looks great. can't wait to buy/download this plugin.

Edit... actually that is not the road. it's where the grade heights are typed in as text.

Any news?

Sorry about bumping this topic but I'm anxiously awaiting this plugin, hopefully it will be in the store soon.

I have a tricky project, I got contours from Civil 3D in fbx format but even though it's not a very large or complicated mesh needed it seems that there are too many edges (think the segments are too much for su) I open it but it crashes sandbox after 7 minutes of thinking.

@solo,

I am progressing. Actually, I had to build a cleanser module because all the contours I have seen so far have many glitches that prevent correct generation of terrain.

For your terrain, just send me the contours and I will see if TopoShaper can handle it.
