Hi

I'm trying to build a top vue of a terrain. (in fac, I have several decors to build).

I'm using terradome 3 at the moment. For the base, it gives some results. but insufficient. So, now, I'm actually thinking about 2 solutions: trying to go deeper this way OR finding a more specialized program (I think that VUE or TERRAGEN are the 2 best options).

I need some advice. For exemple, How can I create a dirt track on my terradome decor? Or how can I create a paved path?

Is there some VUE/Terragen users out there? I'd like some advice.

Many thx in advance

    Have you tried 'Shape Magic Road Maker'? It's free: http://www.shapemagic.com/products.htm

    Or there is this for Terradome: https://www.daz3d.com/road-n-rails-for-terradome-3

    for fantasy decor, the road is not good. An old paved one or , better, a dirt track is more convenient. TY for the links btw. Shape Magic Road Maker seems indeed better. Is there something comparable in daz studio?

    It may not be ideal but Infinito will let you work with the greyscale maps in DAZ Studio

    it seems to be a very old product, and I'm very doubtful about its support nowadays...

    Blender can probably do it.

    Please, be more specific. "can probably" doesn't help at all wink

    Is there a blender module to easily build a ground, then populate it with grass, stones etc...with some random rules etc.. I KNOW that VUE and Terragen can. But they are expensive. So, I'm trying to figure out everything before investing.

    Bryce is pretty inexpensive and uses greycale maps to build terrains. You could also always build your terrain in Bryce or Blender, export as an obj and populate it in DAZ Studio.

    When I get my computer set up I'll see if I can make the Terradome3 road thing look more archaic
