Description:
UltraScenery is an advanced solution for creating highly detailed landscapes in DAZ Studio. UltraScenery builds upon the instancing technology of DAZ Studio to place 1000s of trees, plants, stones, etc - giving lifelike foliage or ground cover density without the overhead of needing millions of polygons.
UltraScenery creates landscapes upon a terrain mesh measuring 64 x 64 meters - large enough to give a sense of space and scale but small enough to enable adding the required density of instanced vegetation to portray realism.
UltraScenery uses a simple 4 step process to create scenes that will be familiar to users of UltraTrees.
1. Create a heightmap for the terrain
2. Choose a landscape feature (road, stream, pond, etc)
3. Choose an Ecology (the plants and other elements)
4. Build the Scene.
Randomize the terrain and the ecology, turn on or off different vegetation layers or adjust the water settings to create a landscape that is uniquely yours. UltraScenery - Realistic Landscape System helps you build your very own world!
