It was great to meet a lot of longtime World Machine users and put some faces to names, as well as connect with new folks. I got a lot of great feedback about what people are hoping to get out of their terrain software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week has been a slow return to normal. I&#8217;m making small tweaks and fixes to &#8216;Alpine Lakes&#8217;, including tracking down some issues that have affected a couple folks activating with the new license manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you gotten a chance to play with 3025 yet? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encounter any issues, or have anything not work the way you want\/expect? I&#8217;d love to continue polishing the new features before they drop to Release. <a href=\"mailto:stephen@world-machine.com\">Email me<\/a> with your thoughts, or post to the comments here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a few small improvements that are in-progress include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We forgot to package the Water Output macro with the initial release. Oops! You can get it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/66frowdl8i0mqus\/Water%20Output.dev?dl=0\">here for now<\/a> if you&#8217;re missing it.<\/li><li>Allow the Erosion and Thermal Erosion devices to accept water in their sediment removal inputs<\/li><li>Improve erosion&#8217;s ability to treat areas masked by water as permanent (stay at the input height)<\/li><li>Have Mesh Output accept the water datatype and just Do the Right Thing for export.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s going to be a lot of continued iteration in the future on the new features exposed in Alpine Lakes. Expect a followup build 3026 once some of the above issues are ironed out and more feedback is incorporated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, the Help Center should continue a slow march towards full documentation of all the new devices and features. It takes a lot of work to write good docs, but I&#8217;ll do my best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GDC was a whirlwind!
