Forester 1.0

Forester is a complete 3Dlandscape generation and visualisation tool. It creates scene description files that are renderedusing POV-Ray (an excellent freeware ray-tracing program).Forester uses a number of object placement algorithms to position hundreds or thousands ofobjects onto the landscape terrain, each one rotated and/or scaled differently to help hide the factthat the same objects are being used repeatedly. For example, a dense forest could quickly be placedover a hillside, using a series of basic probability tests to define the location of each tree. Itwill prevent trees from growing underwater or on steep slopes, and can position them so that theydon't grow too close together or too far apart. It can also take into account the altitude to reducethe chances of trees growing higher up the slopes.
