Terrain Synthesis from DEM (Digital Elevation Model)

1. Device: PPA ridge/valley picker (2007-07-15 completed)
2. Device: Graphcut seam finder (2007-08-15 completed)
3. Device: Poisson seam remover (2007-08-15 completed)
4. Macro (tentative): Terrain Synthesis from DEM (TBA)

As of 2007-07-05, all the plug-ins are written specifically for World Machine Pro Beta 5. While I try to test the devices carefully before releasing them, they are still incomplete and most likely buggy. moreover, I am still actively pursuing possible future development, especially in the area of capturing terrain style from existing DEMs.

If you encounter any problem with the plug-ins, feel free to contact me via my email, I will try my best to respond.
