How it works
SimTiles processes all the day terrain tiles of a photoreal scenery and, using a set of algorythms and rules creates night textures and winter textures. It then modifies the x-plane terrain and polygon files to make use of the newly created textures. It does a lot more under the hood but this is roughly how it works.
Set or rules and colors are fully editable and scriptable and the software can be used to create winter as well as night textures.
The full version adds the following features:
- No Resume button pushing required every 50 files
- Color editing
- Rules editing
- Colors and rules presets management
- Three presets driven by tile elevation (city,hill,mountain)
- Multiple sceneries batch creation
- Output resolution choice (from 512 to 2048pixels)
New version 1.1 features:
- Seasonal (Winter) tiles creation
- Preview result
- Ability to enable/disable seasonal and night tiles with the press of a button
