Is there a guide or tutorial, how the river-tool works?

hi there, title say´s it:

I am looking for a tutorial/video/something, that explains, how the new “river-tool” works. I can not update
to a newer version than 3dev, so I can not have a look, myself…

And before I maybe upgrade, I´d like to judge, if this feature is of interest for me, or not.

kind regards.

There are examples included with the latest dev build. One of them explains rivers through group infos. Very simple to understand.

Ah, ok. I´d never got the latest Dev build, stuck with 3.0.1 dev, AFAIR.
I was thinking to upgrade to Pro - but as things are now, I will not…

You should, it’s still a gem. Check your examples folder, there should be a separate folder for dev build. In there, there’s a whole folder full of river examples.

Hmmmm, I just got an older dev Version of standard 3.0 - there is no river tool availible to me :frowning:

Only reason to buy Pro would be the tiled export - which can be done with outer software for 1/5 the price, as Ive found out.

  • the other software has active development (last time, I checked)

If WM would be developed active (bugfixes+new functions), then it would make sense to buy and I would upgrade.
I guess now, you can not even buy a license or upgrade, cause Stephen is not around to give a key or approve new users…

Cheers!

Upgrading is automated I believe. So as long as the domain is functioning, you may be able to upgrade. Whether you want to is another matter of course. :slight_smile:
