Compiles just fine from source.

Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoyed your birthday, GT :-).

Nice... I love the stipple effect stuff! It always feels like a throw back to older times, with the dashed line and dither look.

Vade is really nice in sharing his source code, and I've learned a lot from it. I'd looked at the apple heightfield plugin project quite a bit already, and all of the apple projects. So, if you consider that stuff, and then see the methods that vade has implemented in his v002 plugins, the differences, etc., there is much to be learned in how to make a qcplugin.

Thanks! There's still some minutes of my birthday left in some time zones. They go by so quickly.

Sharing the source is definitely helpful. I hope Franz would do the same :D

Congrats on stepping through the plugin-making field. Hope to see more plugins with GT prefix!!

It's nice that franz shares the plugins at all, so keep that in mind!

Re: Heightfield_gt Release 1

You're right! I think I was too greedy there ;)

I updated the plugin to include up to 6 GL Clip Planes, for control over culling geometry at arbitrary angles, cutting out the back/front/top/bottom/sides, and so on.
