Regular terrain

plot-paris

of course. there is no hurry for that tutorial, I think.

enjoy your drinking!
after months of cider and guinnes it will be Sambucca tonight for me (with big glasses, tissues and straw. I love hearing other people coughing while I keep the pleasantly burning vapours in my lungs until lack of oxygen forces me to breathe again )

by the way, my monitor is completely exposed. and in addition to that everyone tries to get a glipse of my screen every now and then, because I am doing all the SketchUp work.

Cool, clever, good

I don't really know, what this cleanup is good for

It sure helps a better terrain display whith smooth/soft faces (long and narrow triangles never display well).

My question is: don't we loose some information during the process ? I guess the new terrain is not exactly the same as the original (the greater the vertical faces spacing, the more you loose terrain details and distort it) ?

This may be a plugin idea: drop a virtual flat TIN over the current terrain, compute intersections and automatically get the "clean" regularly triangulated terrain.
What do you think ?

that would be an awesome tool, because it really saves a lot of time and can help you to clean up your model considerably.

I would definitely love such a script!!!

Very nice approach for simplify a terrain mesh !!

Thanks for sharing it.

Ha! Yes, 14th of July!

When I was in Paris and used the Metro and got off (up) at the Bastilles, I was looking around to see it when finally I realised that "ah these dudes destroyed it on occasion of one of their regular revolutions" (well, the first in the row)

Amazingly, I was a last year history student at that time. Such is life!

BTW - English is quite keen on separating its Germanic and Romance layers of origin so I bet "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" would read as "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" - but then again; who am I to judge it?

And the plugin seems to be a beauty again!
