Gen Application
Gen application controls are selected at the lower left. Data entry fields expect: - the name of a .TGA heightfield file you provide, - the name you specified for the .GIF file created by Rough, - a name you specify for objects created by Gen, and - a name you specify for the POV-Ray include file to be created by Gen. To repeat the Rough application notes, the .TGA heightfield is the same one used by you in POV-Ray, for terrain shape. Spacer controls the amount of space between objects. Up to is maximum, and Down to is minimum altitude for objects. These controls bracket the height radio buttons. Height radio buttons: choose one to populate that band of topology with the objects Gen creates. Flip back to the Rough control panel for reference. Random seed selection gives various repeatable object distributions. Random place may be turned off to get regular grid placement. Random rotate may be turned off to get no object rotations. Random scale creates objects of different sizes, constrained by this lower percentage factor. Click the brighter Gen button to create the POV-Ray include file, or regenerate that file after further adjustment. The POV-Ray files are parsed and used for a refreshed display of Gen-created objects, with Camera and Lights. See the Gen output screenshot below. Gen application controls are frost blue. |

Below the map, x, z, and y sliders align Gen objects to the dimensions of your POV-Ray model terrain. These control settings are retrieved from POV-Ray include file camera.inc. These controls are locked. Activate Camera or Lights to perform this adjustment. Click Done to synchronize the new settings within camera.inc and camera.pov files. |
