USING LANDSCAPER |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
When the program first starts, landscaper asks you for an offset value and a roughness value.� The offset determines the largest jump possible from a midpoint value on the first iteration of the algorithm.� On successive iterations the offset is multiplied by 2^roughness, which has the effect of keeping the landscape from jumping up and down all over the place.� I have found that the most interesting results occur with an offset of 0.5 and a roughness of 1.2. |

The following is a short description of the various keyboard commands that can be used in the landscaper program. The character inside the angle brackets is the one to use. |
