Idea Flora addon

How about a module that spreads simple tree meshes over the landscape?
How could it be stopped form plastering trees over the ocean? (Funny, but not very realistic)

How about adapting this module to spead rocks over the Moon and Mars?

 

[Artlav]

Possible? Yes.

Doable? No. Not in this decade.

##How could it be stopped form plastering trees over the ocean?
Simple - Orbiter already have a water mask supplied with it.

Doable? No. Not in this decade.

Huh?
Why not?

Huh?
Why not?

I would say mostly because it would be required to be part of a advanced rendering engine. I have a paper somewhere which describes how to render realistic forests in real-time, you could also use the principles for rocks and stuff.

So it would not be doable in Orbiter?

Not quickly and not with collision.

Orbiter does not have collision at the moment, and I wasn't expecting collidable forests, but what would happen if someone installed their own mesh collison plugin?

Maybe Orulex could be used to spread the Red Weed around the globe like in War of the Worlds!:lol:
