I stumbled accross this today. A very nice project, with a kind of modelling that needs some getting used too, but it is great to add to one's toolbox, especially for the more mathematical modelling needs. Oh, and it's a free, open source, platform independent. Read about it in 3D World Magazine. Image is from the gallery, by sjoo Maybe it has been mentioned before, I didn't hear of it before. Greetings, Hoof

Been using it for a few years, the new version has a much better UI then version 1 and some great new features, there are a few images with topmod stuff in my gallery, alongside another great little package called knotplot, which has recently switched from a freeby to a purchased item...

Toolset: Blender, GIMP, Indigo Render, LuxRender, TopMod, Knotplot, Ivy Gen, Plant Studio.

I think TopMod is a program I've wanted for years. Awesome. Like Hoofd', I found a reference to it in 3DWorld magazine and the past two months, it's consumed all the time ... I should be doing other things ... but I can't get past it. Another program that 3DWorld mentioned is my second favorite freebie, and very different but equally captivating and engrossing - www.contextfreeart.org. Another arrow in your 2D quiver never hurts, I always say. But this is the first time I said it! You might get some ideas from the most recent 10 or 12 posts here at renderosity. Here is a fancy one. and my "new" page . Since that fateful day all my Bryce time is rendering topmod goodies! Getting a large collection! I really like the rind modeling and columns, sponges, golly I've got a handle on a few but there are so many. -thanks for starting a thread, I'll be back I'm sure. Any other magic tools I should know about? ;-) HapiHoli
