I have just completed a POV-Ray include file for the POV-Ray SuperPatch that
will do one of the functions of the Genesis Toolkit, namely, place objects
on the surface of a heightfield. However, the include file can use any
object as the base, not just heightfields, and has some additional options
that the Toolkit does not have.
It will be available at my homepage,
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Program/9231/
as soon as GeoCities comes back online.
If anyone wants to make a copy available for download from their web site,
please send me an e-mail informing me.
Mark
PS. I'm not sure how recent a version of the SuperPatch is needed to use
the include file. The only special SuperPatch function it uses is 'trace'.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I do have one question to ask:
If for example you wished to place verticle standing cylinders across
the surface of the HF will this macro normalize the angle of each cylinder
to the angle of the surface at the point of intersection or will is stay
oriented to it's original direction ?

Looks to me like the objects will keep their original orientation
I could be (and have been) wrong however.

In that case, any version that's actually been made available publicly
should work.

Currently, they will keep their original orientation. I am working on this
option for a future version.
My homepage is now working and the file can be downloaded from there.
