Crop circle.

[bla bla 2]

Is possible of create crop circle ? 

[sjefen]

Yes. It is possible. How you would make it depends on how accurate and fancy it should be.

There may be better ways, but I would use a image as a mask for where the grass won't be able to grow.

Not much to add ... just, that it is fairly hard to let the crop be bent to the right directions ... maybe multiple populations each at another angle, defined by the circle's center would do it. One Pop at 0°-14°, one from 15° to 29° and so on ...

[sjefen]

Yeah.... I was thinking about that afterwards
Maybe if your not to close you could get away using just a image to simulate that effect.

Hi,

This is part of an image i've been working on and I tested out a crop circle.

[Volker Harun]

Nice!

Hi,

I want to see the other parts too , Reck ! Preferably as a whole

very very nice reck, did you use multiple distance shaders or image maps?
I am inspired to try something like this!

edit:  lots of stuff available

Well there's not a lot to see with the top half of the image yet. There's a forest area and a farm house being built (in Blender 2.5  ) but right now it's a bit barren.

Just a simple image map, very easy to do. I did try just painting the image on first of all using the painter shader but it didn't work very well unfortunately.

thanks reck, when I tried distributing fake stones in a stone circle I managed to get some nice results using distribution shaders, though there was only one ring, I may dabble with a series of these to see how it turns out....

No problem , i can wait

Nice CC.

inkydigit - you should give the simple shape shader a try,when combined
               you can produce some nice and easy patterns.

Good idea, I always forget about the simple shape shader.
