    You can make the maximum possible resolution of the terrain using Realistic Mode. Which enable the tessellation of the terran. This method is several times faster and more detailed than the classical method.


    Thanks for you reply, I have those option in the Trial Version, but unfortunally the resolution is not enoght for what I need,  are you saying in the Trial version is already using the Max Resolution possible for the Terrain? 


    Having a higher resolution of textures, of course you will have a higher resolution of the terrain. 
    In the trial it is 2K, in the full version you can download 8K.
  • Can Somebody please try to show me the 8K Resoluton results of this Location from Pay Version: 
    https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/prizrakkd/cla5a9emy001s14l73h2j43tr.html?title=view&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicHJpenJha2tkIiwiYSI6ImNsajFzdGkwNDA0eGQzam8wcDVleWJ5MWwifQ.z0E1q8qQMRUbqeLfyeUXmw&zoomwheel=true&fresh=true#12.26/45.89663/6.92538

    This is What I get when using the trial (I used Terrain Heigh of 1500 which I think look more realistic)



    Hopefully You guys can get something with more details. Cheers

    Thanks
  • Hello,

    What kind of license does the map data have? Is it royalty free/attribution free?

    Hello! You must add attribution for final product. No royalty.
  • Hi Oleg, great plugin! Is there a way to export the buildings as an independent obj-file? I need more control for them for texturing and editing their shapes. 

    Best,

    Andreas

  • Hi! I have a different folder structure to collect script/plugins and so on. So if I copy Terran Builder's folder to my folder, your script doesn't work. But when I install via aescripts's app and it places its in the default c4d's folder - it worked) so, I think you script doesn't work well with custom folder's settings. I change 'default' c4d's folders via regedit.

    And one more. I've downloaded textures already, but my project was crashing, so, I have a map's textures, but in project they didn't save. And how I could see, you script doesn't work with cash, how I could use exist textures?

  • Hi! I wanted to test the trial, but when I click Get 2k maps the download manager asks me to select a style first; but thats impossible in the demo version....

    HI!
    Trial version limitation:
    1) Only 2K textures and masks
    2) You can't create buildings and forest
    3) Only Schematic map style
    4) Not support custom style

  • Oleg Iva said:
    3) Only Schematic map style

    Ah, OK, It works with schematic style, but there is no 3d elevation then, right?

    No, you can download height map and create 3d terrain.

    But how? It only downloads the schematic texture - any other option I try to select (like displacement maps) does not work in the demo. I really want to buy It but I need to know if it fulfills my needs for my project.

    Hello! You must add attribution for final product. No royalty.
    Users really need to be aware of this before they go creating something with this tool only to find that in order to use it for broadcast it needs to have attribution on the bottom of the frame or in the credits. Trust me, from experience, you don't want to be in the situation where your client finds that out after the fact, and you're stuck with two options of paying more than your graphics budget in fees or else re-create the entire thing using different data.

    Yes, you wrote everything correctly. If you have a strict licensing restriction, then you must indicate that you have used the MapBox resource. Alas, such rules.
  • I have purchased . How to import the completed route animation into unity. The fbx I exported does not contain animation, why? thank you!!
  • ryan shi said:

    Because such animation cannot be transmitted via FBX. It's all procedural. To transmit such an animation, you must bake all animation.  Try using export to Alembic.

    Accurate?

    No is incorrect. All your requests are made using my API. When the number of requests exceeds the limit, I personally pay for your requests. Here is an excerpt from the website:
    Most Mapbox services include a free tier of services available to all accounts during each billing period. The number of requests, elements, users, sessions, or other units included in the free tier varies by Mapbox product. You can review the free tier for each product on the Pricing page.

  • Hi there
    Is it possible to download administration borders and use them as a mask shape?

    I would like to create a US map with states as spearate objects, but for them to have some topology/displacement. 

    Thanks!

    You can create a style in the map box with administrative boundaries and download a map of the area you need. Then you can mix it with the elevation map in any graphics editor and use it as an displacement map in TB.
