This is early beta.
It is not so stable yet.
Not all features implemented yet.
Activation process is the same as all other our products.
Documentation not ready yet, but it is easy to use.
1.Create "LandObject" in "SplineLandForm" part of "Create" panel.
2. Add "Splines" and "Platforms" (any geometry) objects.
Splines are for natural form of landscape.
Platforms are for artificial parts of landscape (roads, slopes, mounds, pits)
3. Click "Generate Surface"
You can use your custom geometry. It will be conformed to "SplineLandForm" surface.
Just add SplineLandForm WSM modifier to your geometry and select any "LandObject" in modifier settings.

Thanks Alex
I know that there isn't documentation about it, but could you just explain how to "conform" a road spline on a custom terrain?
i've done a terrain (simple plane 100 subdiv and a noise modifier on it) and add a road (simple S spline on it with an outline) and try to conform them together... But... Nothing happen... I've add the wsm modifier on the road, pick the terrain, and creat a splineland object to look on... and try some manipulation... and nothing... Please just a "how to" process like that you do for plateform and spline (and work great for sure !)

thanks !

You can use only splines to build base surface.

oh... Ok... How can we do a terrain in spline? I've see your screenshot in the post about splineland, but... How can we model some terrains easily with splines?

Is it useful?

Can I have your splines for test?
