Yes, from this perspective it is really great and I really like it. I think it
is intended for this view. Excuse me to nitpick a bit. First thing I did was to
use your third camera (the birds view) and added orthographic to it. There are
nearly no streets in the town. The residents must use a lot of secret passages
or ladders to reach their houses. So it is more a pueblo than a mediterranian
village. But looks fine as well.
Best regards,
Michael

And that is as it should be ;-) The orthographic view is also fully correct.
Note 1:
This is a /block/ secondary streets and alleyways or courtyards can be
obtained by editing the Block object which controls where houses are
located. This should be designed by the user.
Note 2:
The density of the urbanism is controlled by the /number/ of houses the
user wants in a particular block. Play with the parameter Numbers.
Note 3:
This is not intended as a town like we know it. More like those in
Libya) or indeed a pueblo village. Much of the circulation occurs over
the terraces as it happens.

Thank you for this guidance. I will play with this parameters as soon as I have
time to do so. At the moment I'm combing cats (Poser cat with dynamic hair). I
found a way to display dynamic hair by analysing the obj-output of Poser and
convert the lines to simple meshes to simulate hair. Unfortunatelly I have to
use software which is not known here but I'm accustomed to it. PoseRay quitted
after some 30.000 different but very simple meshes (I think I tried only for
tubes with 30 vertices each) with an out of memory error. I have run tests now
and observed that POV can handle a million of them (ok, I reduced them further
to only 15 vertices). Unfortunatelly I have not the time to convert the code
from my special statistical software to C++, but your problems about beards you
reported here the one or other time could be solved with this approach. And
easily.
Best regards,
Michael

The whole thing is a proof of concept and open to improvement/extension.
For the time being it - almost - does what I want it to do, but I am
exploring a few additional issues which trouble my satisfaction, and
possibly I shall get stuck. If so, I shall call for help ;-)

Oh, this is interesting indeed! Beards are doing fairly fine in Poseray
but a cat...
If you can come up with a nice solution to the dynamic hair problem, I
shall be more than interested.

An improved version of the code.

I will not abuse your thread here much longer about this dynamic hair issue.
Yesterday I mainly wanted to say that I'm involved in other issues at the
moment. But for the cat issue: the main problem at the moment is not the
algorithm to convert lines from Poser to POV-meshes but to select proper face
groups within Poser. This is annoying completelly. May be due to the special
model. But you try to select faces but select or deselect faces at the other
side of the cat and so on. Or you try to select faces (and really click only at
the model) and you have erased all existing hair groups for some unknown reason.
Seems Poser 2012 Professional is really professional. After having the correct
hair groups the main problems will be the conversion from my statistical
software to C and the texturing. But better solve one problem after the other...
Best regards,
Michael

That's OK Michael. If need be, it can be continued on p.t.poser.

Yes, I know. Very irritating indeed. At least you can /lock/ the
underlying figure geometry though. That simplifies selection somewhat.

Good luck!
