Yeah, it's working now. I think it was my laptop not wanting to open it. Thanks!

Lol, I tried downloading World3D demo from that website.
While unzipping it, the "Demo_Editor.exe" got deleted by my virusscanner (F-Secure) as it seems to be a Backdoor:W32/Bifrose.GNT.

I doubt its a virus, probably a moleboxed app, molebox compression sets of virus detection software all the time.

Its not a fraud. I have grass and tree party. they're legit :)

Just make sure it's an original distribution. (probably compare filesize). Indeed, Molebox may cause your release to be virus-flagged. In these times it may be better not to use exe-compression.
BTW if you're after grass then you may try my demo as well: www.melog.ch/vrv/

The Links is dead :(

True. Dead as a doornail. Hence the need for a free open grass/foliage system, which I'm trying to create, but A) I'm not a brilliant programmer when it comes to math and B) I have limited time which I have to dose very well cos of an eye condition.

I could try adapt BlitzForrest/BlitzGrass, but it seems to handle simple billboards only, and I like to be able to use simple meshes for more realism, plus it has a bug with the grassmap which probably is reversed.

So I found a nifty piece of code Grass on a landscape (lite version) by Matt Merkulov, which I gave a bit of a swirl to incorporate your own (blitz)terrains and will allow to put in simple 3d models for the grass/bushes. I want to build on that giving it the ability to add more foliage types, including trees with a foliagmap that would use different colors for different types of vegetation, which could be drawn on a copy of the terrainheightmap using MSpaint (simple) or 3dfoliage editor(to be created of course).

You have seen my posts in threads here(link) and here(link2) . If you wanna collaborate I can post a ziplink with latest stuff in it..

Keep up the good work, Rick!
I HAVE both treeparty and grassparty, those quads can be pretty disappointing.
They don't face the camera (ala doom) like sprites.
@hotshot: don't feel too bad you don't have them. I could WRITE a better routine. Maybe not faster, but better- and so could you!
