Terrraman for Maya/Terragen - beta testers wanted!
I'm currently developing Terraman for Maya, a Python application that bridges Maya and Terragen.
Features include:
• Supports Maya versions 2017 - 2022.
• Supports Python 2 and 3 for Maya.
• Supports output from Terragen, World Machine and Gaea.
• Supports Arnold and Vray.
• Click and drag installation.
• Create tiled terrain output from Terragen.
• Create tiled heightfields and textures in Terragen from World Machine and Gaea tiled builds.
• Converts terrain meshes to Arnold or Vray geometry caches.
• Cache, proxy or stand-in assets for terrains.
• Use scene or preset rig cameras.
• Export scene polygon objects.
• Exports object hard surface animation.
• Exports hierarchical animated objects.
• Exports deforming objects (such as skinned characters) via Motion Designer Deformer (MDD) files.
• Import Terragen camera animation via .chan files.
• Import Scalar and Vector displacement maps to create terrains.
• Exports camera and object data as Terragen clip files.
• Converts Maya shader to a Terragen default shader via a clip file.
• Supported shaders:
o Arnold - StandardSurface
o Vray - VrayMtl
o Maya - Lambert
o Maya - Blinn
• Multiple file processing options save time for terrain and image batch functions.
• OCIO aware for image file conversion to .tx format.
• Naming convention re-namer for Mari and Mudbox image tiles.
• Connect to Meshlab server to clean and decimate terrain meshes.
• Connect to maketx.exe to convert image files to mipmapped .tx.
• Tool-tips are available for all functions.
• Parameters are sticky and will remember user selections between sessions of Maya.
This will be a paid app and due to release in the first quarter of 2022.
Looking for a beta tester for the app who, in return, would get a free copy and all updates for this version.
I would be looking for someone who has both Terragen (Professional Edition), Maya 2022 and a previous version (Maya 2017-2020) to test both Python 2 and 3 compiles.
World Machine and/or Gaea would be good to have.
If you are interested, please message me.
Thank you,
