Basic Shapes Generator - Updated 22.08.2006
Basic Shapes Generator is a small modelling support tool.
Use it to quickly and painlessly generate a few basic shapes such as a cylinder, cone or dome, using parameters you define.
The output can be saved as a J3D or J3P format, for direct pasting into the appropriate file.
I still need to test a few things here, and some things might not yet be quite right, but do feel free to use it, and send me any feedback you might have!

PathMaker Evaluator - Updated 06.02.2006
PathMaker is a support tool building on MEGA's idea of adding layers to terrain tiles to allow better placement of railway tracks, roads,....
This evaluator is NOT YET FINISHED!
It currently does not yet generate the textured view of a selected terrain tile, nor does it export the paths accordingly, but you can play around with it editing up to 10 separate paths.
Please do test it and provide feedback for further development to me, at
