    Post [Award Winner] Fun with Wilbur, Volume 6 - Islands

    http://www.ridgenet.net/~jslayton/Fu...ol6/index.html has a baby tutorial that shows how to make quick islands with Wilbur. The examples in the attachment were each created in well under 15 seconds each.

    There is another use for this basic process which will become apparent in Volume 7 (I still need a bit more coding to make that particular process a little more tractable).

    I'll have to check this out over the weekend. I dabble with Wilbur so I don't know the true power but I know enough (thanks to you) to get by.

    This is good stuff. Frankly, I'm more interested in the expression analysis than the technique itself. The old quickstart guide for 1.26 has a bunch of stuff like creating spiral galaxy forms in Wilbur that only partly translate to the current version. A little more information on how to work with math functions in Height Field Computation is always welcome. Very welcome.

    Since I've started using it, I've become a huge fan of Wilbur. There are still several features I haven't quite figured out yet, but there are some that I'm absolutely (figuratively speaking) in love with.

    Only several features you haven't figured out yet? I should have you update the documentation...

    Ahhh . . . . Um . . . Let me rephrase that . . .

    Several DOZEN features maybe?

    Regardless, I'm having fun experimenting even if some of the experiments take a few hours.

    Drat! I have a note attached to my computer reminding me to update the documentation but the eternal struggle between new code or old documentation is heavily weighted to one side.
