So I decided to try something out.  Today, I put out another great DEM Earth update, for FREE. but only released it to those customers who had purchased Download Insurance via Avangate. They paid extra, to have their links not expire for 2 years, and can instantly download again, using that after sale download link. They should have priority, in my opinion, and that is fair in my eyes. On release, I sent out an email to all DEM Earth customers.  Surprise, Surprise, within 30 mins I had  ~20 emails from disgruntled customers all asking why they had to wait for an update. So the catch 22  situation is. If its free, and I just give it out, nobody gives a shit. If its free, and I don’t give it to everyone, those not getting their stuff, get upset, thinking they are missing out, or being treat less than others. Suddenly they need to have it, real bad. Restricting distribution, creates a demand.  At least I know they are still interested !

•  Improved – Strata.

I changed the way the Strata is built in preparation for  any shape, outline. not just a simple grid. the new method is much more robust and will work for any shape.

•  Added – Support for registered student versions of Cinema4D.

Previously it was not possible to support the free student version of C4D because of the lack of any 11 numbers. this has been resolved and students can now purchase and use DEM Earth, with a discount. Contact support for details.

•  Fixed – Binding issues. Separate objects line up perfectly.

In previous versions, there where problems matching multiple DEM Earths together. There was a difference in the north south offset, meaning you could not match things up  as well as you may want to. This has been fully resolved.

•  Added – Handles for length and width.

Better interaction with handles. More to come…

•  Added – Separate Width / Height settings, with best fit subdivision.

You can now modify both width and height separately. The subdivision method has been improved to try to maintain square subdivisions over both axis.

•  Improved – World.meter unit (this is the world scale multiplier from C4D space to real world space)

Some internal simplification produces a more accurate value. Multiply any  real world meter value by this number, to get a C4D meter value.

•  Improved – Significantly improved geo-referencing accuracy.

As a result of the core overhaul.

•  Improved – Major rewrite of core DEM Earth code

What it says. Big chunks of code rewritten and improved.  Makes more things possible.

New, faster DEM Server + bug fixes and download performance improvements.

• Added – EURO2 server – Lost/Damaged 30m tiles around Greenland and North Canada.
• Added – EURO2 server – Lost/Damaged 30m tiles around Russia & Ukraine & North Turkey.
• Added – New Server & choices, in prefs.
• Server ‘Europa1′ is the new faster DEM server.
• Server ‘Europa2′ is the old R1 server.
• Added – Support for GPX waypoints, without tracks or routes.
• Added – New code and functions to better predict missing tiles & reduce false downloads for 90m data.
• Fixed – white images with stamen Toner Map.
• Added – File import option to OSM Object. You can import  file with this, rather than downloading.

Enjoy

•  Changed – Strato and stick to floor settings, are now on, by default.
•  Fixed – A small, but critical error, caused coordinates projected onto DEM Earth, below sea level, to have wrong height. This showed as a field of spiked outlines(Thanks R.Feenstra)
•  Improved – PinPoint Object, Performance.
•  Fixed – PinPoint Object, bugs.
•  Added – Map Loader Images – Automatic Reprojection so that images better match height for larger areas.
•  Added – The Geocoder now automatically copies its coordinate result to the clipboard
•  Improved – Using the paste button now resets the lat/lon offset to zero. It was a bit confusing before.

updates have been sent out to all users within the terms of their support.. Enjoy.
