A density texture on the treed overstory Foliage Group is used to create the open areas and patches of trees. Spacing between clumps of trees can easily be changed. Adjust the texture's remap function's phase shift to adjust spacing between patches. It's easier to do than it sounds.
	Parking Spaces - Diag.eco Diagonal parking spaces, approx 12ft wide, 20ft deep with 21ft inter-space access lanes. Lanes are aligned with cardinal NS-EW directions. Alter the Z Rotation field of all of the texture elements in the Asphalt with Lines material's Diffuse Color to reorient for your lot's alignment. Use the ParkingLotAsphalt ecosystem or the ParkingLotAccessLane linear terraffector to obliterate striping as necessary.
	Barren Desert.eco Sparse desert weeds and grasses. More grass than weeds in low-lying areas. Does not color actual ground surface, use with your favorite ground effect.
	Grass w Mushroom Rings.eco Many, many grass clumps. Distance dissolve to a texture for faster rendering. Rings of brown mushrooms are invading the turf. Their density and distribution can be controlled independently from the grass.
	Grass w Red Mushrooms.eco Many, many grass clumps. Distance dissolve to a texture for faster rendering. Clumps of red mushrooms are invading the turf. Their density and distribution can be controlled independently from the grass.

Make sure to adjust the Z Rotation field of all of the texture elements in the Asphalt material's Diffuse Color to match any rotation you did to the Parking Spaces textures so the patterns will match where the textures meet.
	Parking Spaces - Straight.eco Straight-in parking spaces, approx 10ft wide, 20ft deep with 21ft inter-space access lanes. Spaces are aligned with cardinal NS-EW directions. Alter the Z Rotation field of all of the texture elements in the Asphalt with Lines material's Diffuse Color to reorient for your lot's alignment. Use the ParkingLotAsphalt ecosystem or the ParkingLotAccessLane linear terraffector to obliterate striping as necessary.

See Simple Boulder Field for a less sophisticated implementation.
	Smart Talus Field.eco WARNING: REALLY SLOW COMPONENT! Attach to a vector to place random rocks of 10cm to 1m size within. Density and size are greater in flatter, more convex areas, where rolling rocks are most likely to come to a stop, and smaller and fewer on exposed or steep areas where they are not likely to remain for long. A bitmapped ground texture is used to supply small gravel base. A pebbly distance-dissolve texture makes expensive 3d rocks disappear when smaller than 2 pixels high.

Environments
	Nebraska.env Farmland in the western and midwestern U.S. is usually divided into mile square sections. Each section is often subdivided into fields of 160 acre size. Roads, usually gravel, follow the section lines. This ecosystem portrays this pattern with a mix of different crop types. It uses the quantizing property of the bricks texture to create the field pattern and dots to make the irrigation crop circles.
	Kansas.env Grasslands and wildflowers puntuated by stands of hardwoods predominantly on the moister north sides of hills gives the impression of the eastern part of the US prairies. Everything in the thumbnail is one Ecosystem. Multiple materials are used to create the open areas and patches of trees. To add areas of bare ground or rock you will need to decrease the slope range of the one Ecosystem to allow the Ground to show through in steeper places. In the southern hemisphere you would want to reverse the material driver's texture output so that the trees appear on the south side of the hills. There is an overstory of trees for the grassland material. It is disabled but enable it if you want more trees.
	Grand Canyon.env Numerous stratified rock ecosystems make up the mojor features of this Environment. As seen in the Grand Canyon and Shadow Cliffs Projects.
	Generic Environment.env Generic desert, grass, deciduous, conifer, tundra and rock Ecosystems, applied via their Rules-of-Nature(tm). This does not represent the actual foliage of any particular place. You can use this as a global Environment to quickly populate the terrain with an initial covering of foliage and texturing. This is meant to be a quick but rough starting point. I highly recommend adding or deleting Ecosystems as necessary, and editing each Ecosystem to better fit your particular project.
	BlueMesa Environment.env Desert Environment from Blue Mesa Project Stratified rocks in sandstone colours, with a mix of Sage scrub, Saguaro and Juniper foliage. Suitable for long distance desert shots.
	Illinois.env Grassland and wildflowers puntuated by stands of hardwoods looks like what Illinois might have looked like before the white man came and attacked the fertile loam with the plow. Everything in the thumbnail is one Ecosystem. A density texture on the treed overstory Foliage Group is used to create the open areas and patches of trees. Spacing between clumps of trees can easily be changed. Adjust the texture's remap function's phase shift to adjust spacing between patches. It's easier to do than it sounds.
	Grassland.env Clumps of Golden Banner, Mullein, Curly Dock and other wildflowers amidst thick grass. Get down close to this one to appreciate the diversity or cover whole prairies with it. Everything in the thumbnail is one Ecosystem. A foliage dissolve is used to keep rendering times reasonable.

	Smart Township-Range Grid.gnd Heavy black lines mark township/range border, medium grey lines mark sections (1 square mile), thin blue lines every quarter-section. Grid lines automatically fade out with distance to prevent cluttering. Important: To align grid with local Township/Range system, set WCS's Project Reference Coordinates (in Preferences window, Project tab) to a nearby township/range intersection point. Texture is only accurate near this point. Remember, real-world Township/Range surveying is often inaccurate, so this 'perfect' grid may not agree with reality.
	Smart Metric Grid.gnd Heavy black lines every 1km, medium grey lines every 100m, thin blue lines every 10m. Grid lines automatically fade out with distance to prevent cluttering. (Foresters and land planners: the medium 100m grey lines are equivalent to hectares)

	Moguls.ata Medium sized (.75m high) moguls, spaced about 3m apart. Use with moderatewly hig-res terrain and fractal depth for best detail.
	Face of Mars.ata Make your own Face on Mars, or anywhere else! This area terraffector raises the terrain about 10m, but uses a carefully designed masking texture to only raise certain areas, forming the shape of a face (about 33m long and 23m wide). Requires moderately high-res terrain and fractal depth. To use this area terraffector, attach it to a vector enclosing a fairly large area, causing several faces to appear within the area (the face texture image is tiled). Adjust the Center X, Center Y and Z Rotation parameters in the Texture editor for the Terraffector's Elevation to position one of the faces where you want. Then, redigitize the containing vector to define an area enclosing only the face you wish to keep. Note: Face texture image is hand-drawn but inspired by original Face-on-Mars images from Viking. Any resembleance to popular nighttime television variety-show hosts is purely coincedental and not meant to imply they are from Mars.
	Smooth Abs Flattener 75m.ata Flattens anything within vector area to a constant 75m. Has a 10m inside blending region. Elevation and profile can be adjusted. Flattened area has no roughness.

	Simple Rock Outcrop.ata Simple multifractal-noise based area terraffector, raises terrain up to 8m.
	Granite Rock Outcrop.ata Another textured area terraffector using granite bitmapped image and fractal noise to create more sophisticated rock shapes. Raises terrain up to 8m.
	Revert.ata This high-priority, late-evaluation area terraffector causes regions within other area terraffectors to 'revert' back to their original elevation and roughness. Here, it is shown causing a circular area of the original DEM elevation within a different terrain-lowering area terraffector. Cannot alter linear terraffectors, use the linear terraffector version of Revert for that.

	Big Muddy River Bed.ter Big wide river with steep mud banks and sand bars
	Small Stream.ter Just a little stream bed about 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide.
	Slough.ter A slough, pronounced like slew, is a very shallow, sluggish stream. Often it is so shallow and slow that it becomes choked with cattails and reeds. Sloughs are common in farm country where they carry runoff irrigation water from the fields to the nearest stream. This terraffector could also be used for a shallow irregular stream bed.
	Barge Canal.ter Large canal suitable for transportation. Similar in size to the Delaware Canal of eastern Pennsylvania. Worn tow path on the bank could be made into a paved or gravel bike path for modern times.
	Irrigation Canal.ter Small canal common in arid regions for carrying irrigation water from the mountains out into farmland. Canals usually have very low gradients following the contours for dozens of miles from their upland origins.
	2LaneHighway.ter This is a two Lane highway Based on Gary Huber's road texture. Road textures and shoulder foliage are applied using Ecosystems. Highway stripes are applied using textures in an Asphalt Ecosystem. This 3/7/01 version supercedes any other Components with anything like a "2 Lane Highway" name.

Avoid using older versions, they do not use textures for the striping.
	Rough 3m Berm.ter Rough earthen berm, 3m high, 6m across.
	Terraced Cut.ter Found in mountainous areas. Used for cuts deep enough for rockfall and erosion to be problematic. 16m wide flat floor (wide enough to use with our 2 Lane Highway) with 2/3 ratio rough cuts of up to 20ft each, interspersed with flat 9ft wide debris-accumulation areas to arrest falling/eroding material. Tips for use with 2 Lane Highway component: Clone your highway vector, possibly multiple times. (WCS does not permit more than one of any type of component to be attached to the same vector). Delete portions of your cloned vectors, keeping only the sections that will require the terraced cut. Attach the Terraced Cut component to each separate section. Change the 'Evaluation Order' of the 2 Lane Highway component to '2'. Ensure 'Overlap' is on for your terraffectors.
	FootPrints.ter Large 2m long footprints pressed 5cm into the ground. Use with high-res terrain and moderate fractal depth for crisp results. Because of texture stretching where vectors change direction, this works best when applied to a set of several vectors, each representing on seciton of a path, rather than one vector with all the segments combined. Demonstrates use of texture and raster image controlling a terraffector, and also exhibits the hitherto-impossible: a horizontally asymetrical terraffector!
	PawPrints.ter Attach of the three-toed desert Yeti! Enormous 2m wide footprints pressed 15cm into the ground. Use with high-res terrain and moderate fractal depth for crisp results. Because of texture stretching where vectors change direction, this works best when applied to a set of several vectors, each representing on seciton of a path, rather than one vector with all the segments combined. Demonstrates use of texture and raster image controlling a terraffector, and also exhibits the hitherto-impossible: a horizontally asymetrical terraffector!

	Railway US Standard Gauge.ter United States Standard Gauge railway track. Rails are 4' 8 1/2" apart, on 8' long ties. Vector elevation should be desired height of tops of ties/ballast. Does not actually raise ties/rails above ballast level. Complex texturing creates ties, rails and grime streak down center of track. Cuts are made at very steep angles, fills are made at 2:3 slopes. Cuts and fills use a customizable Railway Cut/Fill ecosystem, currently tan bare dirt on shallow fill slopes, greyish rock for steeper cuts.
	Railway 36in Narrow Gauge.ter 36" Narrow Gauge railway track. Rails are 36 inches apart, on 6' long ties. Vector elevation should be desired height of tops of ties/ballast.

	GrowingRoute.ter Classic 'Growing Route' effect. Attach to a vector and animate the "Offset (m)" parameter in Texture editor for the Diffuse Color of the "Growing Route" Ecosystem. Start the offset at 0, and animate it up to the negative length of your vector to cause the black-red dotted line to grow along the length of your vector. For example, if your vector is 10Km long, set the offset to 0 at the start of the animation, and -10Km at the end.
	15m Blast Crater.ter 15m diameter blast crater. Use with vectors set to point style.
	30m Blast Crater.ter 30m diameter blast crater. Use with vectors set to point style.
	StepStone 1m.ter Small (1m diameter) stepping stones at the elevation of your vector's points. Make sure to set the attached vector to 'point' style. Only useful with small, very-high resolution terrain models (.1m or finer cell sizes). If used with a lake, make sure your beach height is lower than your stepstone height above water, or stepstones will be covered with beach material. Use the Even Spacing button in the Smooth section of the Vector Editor to ensure constant point spacing in your vector.
	Foxhole-Trench 2mW 2.5m D.ter Creates 2m wide 2.5m deep foxholes or trenches. Attach to a vector set to 'point' style to create individual round foxholes. Attach to a vector set to 'solid' style to make connected tranches.

	Basic Driveway.ter 12ft wide driveway, interacts properly with Basic Urban Street component. Elevation if 10cm above vector. To use, apply street component first, then create or edit driveway vector so that the street endpoint is at the elevation of the street pavement surface.
	Basic Urban Street.ter 20ft wide asphalt street with 4ft wide concrete sidewalks. Single white dashed striping down the center of the street. Automatically resolves intersections.
	Revert.ter This high-priority 10m radius linear terraffector is capable of reverting or 'undoing' the effects of other terraffectors. It will return the terrain to the original elevation, roughness and ecosystem it had prior to the application of other linear terraffectors. (Will not under the effects of area terraffectors, use the Area version of Revert for that.)
	Road-TwoLane.ter This is a two Lane highway Based on Gary Huber's road texture. Road textures and shoulder foliage are applied using Ecosystems. Highway stripes are applied using textures in an Asphalt Ecosystem. This 3/7/01 version supercedes any other Components with anything like a "2 Lane Highway" name. Avoid using older versions, they do not use textures for the striping.
Terrain Gridders
Terrain Parameters
Water
Lakes
	Ocean.lak This Lake surface features large swells, roughness texturing for wave detail, specularity, and texture-based foam color and coverage. You may need to adjust the water material's Difuse Color texture, which changes the color of the surface based on water depth. It is set to go from yellow beach to blue water to black over range of zero to 80 meter water depth. If your water is too black in the deep areas, increase the Input High value in the Texture Editor for the Diffuse Color's texture. If the water is too blue in the deep areas, decrease the Input High vallue. To keep beaches from becoming too white, beach specularity is set much lower in this component than in the original LoneTree Ocean component I made. Because it can cause problems in projects with sharp bathemtry, there is no phase texture enabled in this version, but it is set up if you want to use it. If you wish, you can enable texture-delayed phase based on water depth to curve the surf around the shoreline or rocks in the water. To do so, edit the "Ocean Waves" Wave Model in the Wave Model Editor and enable the Phase Texture for the wave source on the Sources page.
	RMNP Ocean.lak Animated waves and reflectivity that match the season changes in the RMNP demo Project. Waves get bigger and reflectivity falls off as winter approaches. suitable for a large lake or ocean, the wave lengths amplitudes are too extreme for a small pond.
	Grand Canyon Ocean.lak Dark and deep. As seen in the Grand Canyon Project. Waves are already attached in this Component.
	Lone Tree Ocean.lak This lake surface features large swells with texture-delayed phase based on water depth to curve the surf around the shoreline or rocks in the water. It also has roughness texturing for wave detail, specularity, and texture-based foam color and coverage.
	ShadowCliffs Ocean.lak Lake effect from Shadow Cliffs project
	Ice Lake with Boulders.lak Mountain lake in winter. Ice covers this lake. Cattails and boulders rim the shore. This component is ideal for animation. There is a flower and grass Foliage Group in the shoreline Ecotypes which can have its height animated upward as the ice component of the lake is diminished. Voila - springtime in the Rockies!
	Melting Ice Lake w Boulders.lak Mountain lake in springtime. Ice is melting leaving sparkling cold water behind. Cattails and boulders rim the shore. Small ripples and waves created where a stream enters the lake can be repositioned for best effect in your project. This component is ideal for animation. There is a flower and grass Foliage Group in the shoreline Ecotypes which can have its height animated upward as the ice component of the lake is diminished. Voila - springtime in the Rockies! Additional flowers and boulders are disabled in deeper water materials but could be enabled if you had a shallow lake and wanted a marshier effect.
	Mountain Lake with Boulders.lak Mountain lake in summer. Cattails, flowers and boulders rim the shore. Small ripples and waves created where a stream enters the lake can be repositioned for best effect in your project. Additional flowers and boulders are disabled in deeper water materials but could be enabled if you had a shallow lake and wanted a marshier effect.
	Pond.lak Built from Jamie's Ocean component, I've added many layers of bitmap and procedural texturing to make a shallow gravel lakebottom, some pond scum in the shallow areas, and lily pads in the deeper areas. The lillies and gravel are different layers in the diffuse color and can be switched off independently. The scum is made with the foam color/coverage and can also be removed.
Streams
	Boulder Creek.str Mountain torrent, bankfull from spring runoff. Boulders in the creek bed and along the bank are 3D objects placed as part of the beach materials. Waves are animated and give the illusion of water flow.
	Small Stream.str A nice gentle little stream with some catails on the banks. Stream is about 40 feet wide.
	Big Muddy River.str Big wide river with cattails and grasses populating the sand bars and banks.
	Slough.str A slough, pronounced like slew, is a very shallow, sluggish stream. Often it is so shallow and slow that it becomes choked with cattails and reeds. Sloughs are common in farm country where they carry runoff irrigation water from the fields to the nearest stream.
	Barge Canal.str Large canal suitable for transportation. Similar in size to the Delaware Canal of eastern Pennsylvania.
	Irrigation Canal.str Small canal common in arid regions for carrying irrigation water from the mountains out into farmland. Canals usually have very low gradients following the contours for dozens of miles from their upland origins.
	Quiet Stream with Grass.str A quiet little stream with banks of grass that spread out into the shallow water. Clumps of grass are controlled by foliage group height and density textures. The grass images should be replaced with more and higher resolution images for better closeups.
	Whitewater Stream.str A stream with water materials that change as the vector's slope changes. Steeper slopes select water materials with more whitewater. For each water material, the water color also changes with water depth. The beach also changes materials, from sand to rock to steep rock, based on terrain slope.
Wave Models
	RMNP Waves.wve Animated wave amplitudes vary height with the seasons over this 600 frame animation. The waves are rather large suitable for a big lake or ocean
	Grand Canyon Waves.wve As seen in Grand Canyon Project. Large waves suitable for distant viewing on large bodies of water.
	Generic Waves.wve A single Wave Source modulated by an Amplitude Texture of F1 Cell Basis. Feel free to adjust the Amplitude (currently .5m), Wave Length (currently 30m) and Velocity (currently .5 meters/sec) of the Wave Source appropriately for your Lake or Stream.
	ShadowCliffs Waves.wve Wave model from Shadow Cliffs project
	Pagoda Waves.wve Gentle swells make for serene lake scenes. Taken from the v4 Pagoda project that led to the cover image
