Working with Gigs to develop new and improved terrain editing tools.


Client Changes

Client-side only:

  • Add slider / combo / radio widgets for a "duration" modifier which affects the strength of a brush. (0% to 1000%?)
Done! http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2331 Gigs Taggart


With Server-side mods:

  • Add additional actions
    • Pinch
    • Punch
    • Erode
    • Scattering
    • Noise (true vs perlin "roughen")
    • Cells (Worley Fractal Distortion)
    • Equalisation
    • Gamma
    • Contrast
  • Add additional brush sizes (0 to 5? Currently 0 to 3) (8 = 256m, 0 = 1m) - the server seems to interpret brush sizes as "size = 1 << brushsize" according to the current pattern, but some minor changes are needed on the server side as it ignores larger brushes currently.


Server Changes

  • Adam will be writing reference code for each of the additional actions to be submitted in tandem with the above changes.
