Hi,

I have created a terrain and I am using the Cold Mountain Ecosystem. The thing is I would like less trees at the high altitude, does anyone know what to adjust to make this happen?

Thanks
Jon

You should create an altitude dependant density function.

Here's an excellent flash tutorial by DigReal which should help!

Hi,

Excellent, many thanks :)

I have had Vue 5 Esprit for ages but only upgraded to Infinite a few days ago to take advantage of that upgrade offer. So I am quite new to ecosystems.

Thanks once again :)

I'm not sure what the material is like but you could always apply the ecosystem to only part of the mixed material, that's usually how I do it anyway just because it affords greater control over the placement.

Hi,

I am not quite sure how to do that.

It is the standard Cold Mountain ecosystem that comes with Vue.

Thanks
