This software supports Microsoft’s Windows operating system. It uses OpenGL for its graphics: you will need a working OpenGL driver for your system.
This software has not been tested on any version of Windows except Windows 10, version 1709 (and not particularly well on that OS). It might work on Windows XP service pack 3 and it probably works on Windows 7, Windows 8, and older versions of Windows 10.
Changes in Version 1.88 of Wilbur [09 Apr 2018]
- V2 shader should work correctly for positive and negative latitude.
- General code cleanup, rebuilt with Visual Studio 2017 15.6.4. The Visual Studio 2017 redistributable package for x86 or x64 is needed to make it run correctly.
Changes in Version 1.87 of Wilbur [12 Oct 2017]
- Brushes can align to surface normal for painting.
- Brushes have an “align to base” option to allow stamping houses onto terrain.
- Minor difference in the basic window styling.
- Should no longer appear to lock up if certain errors during binary file read.
- General code cleanup, rebuilt with Visual Studio 2015 update 3. The Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 redistributable package is needed to make it run correctly.
Changes in Version 1.86 of Wilbur [20 Nov 2016]
- Incorporated Leland Brown’s Texture Shading operations for texture generation and for altitude processing (not sure how useful that second one is).
