Dear friends..
imagining to place some objects (trees) on an height_field with a trace
function
like this, for example:
//-------- Placing the trees -------------
#declare Seed=seed(2);
#declare Spacing=0.24;
#declare Cnt=0;
#declare PosX=-3;
#while (PosX < 3)
#declare PosY=-3;
#while (PosY < 3)
// trace function
#declare Norm = <0, 0, 0>;
#declare Start = <PosX+(rand(Seed)-0.5)*Spacing,
PosY+(rand(Seed)-0.5)*Spacing, 1.0>;
#declare Pos = trace (
Terrain_Obj, // object to test
Start, // starting point
-z, // direction
Norm ); // normal
#if (Norm.x != 0 | Norm.y != 0 | Norm.z != 0) // if intersection is
found, normal differs from 0
#if ((vdot(Norm, z)>0.85) & (Pos.z < 0.25))
// criteria for placing trees: not too steep and not too high
object {
TreeA (0.05+rand(Seed)*0.02)
translate Pos
}
#declare Cnt=Cnt+1;
#end
#end
#declare PosY=PosY+Spacing;
#end
#declare PosX=PosX+Spacing;
#end
...if you wanted to know, using debug, the xyz position for each placed tree,
how can I do?...
I would want debugging a string like "translate <x,y,z>" for every object
in order to insert them in a .inc file.
can someone help me?, please..
Alberto.
