Macros moved to new site

Macros and Plugins
#1

I was recently reminded that all my macros formerly hosted on ashundar aren’t online anymore, so I moved them to my own webspace with screenshots and short descriptions in english and german:
[size=14pt]http://nkblog.nkdev.de/world-machine[/size]

I’ve also taken a quick look at each one to ensure they will work in WM2 and redesigned parts of them in some cases. The behemoth called Glacier 1.2 in particular has lost about a third of it’s devices and should run much faster and with less memory consumption now. They all have nice icons too so you can include them in your macro bar!

Plus: I added three previously unreleased macros!
Dunefield - a generator for dunes. This one has been waiting on my hard drive for more than a year! I couldn’t release it before because it wouldn’t run on WM1.25 due to a bug.
Smooth Layout removes some of those edges that occurs at the bends of layouts.
Coastal Overlay creates a simple overlay for coastal regions. I applied some kind of fake ambient occlusion in the shadows.

I hope they can make life a bit easier for you :slight_smile:

cheers,
nikita

:lol: I’ve just been going through your Terragen tutorial for using imagemap shader to get a river- it’s the same site!

Having trouble getting the tut to work with my existing project tho- I’m new to TG for sure.

cheers

You mean this one? http://forum.world-machine.com/index.php?topic=346.0
I didn’t include it for some reason. I think because the basic version for which the macro was intended now has the curves device too.
