Comb Ridge

[choronr]

A place in southeastern Utah that is great for exploration. Been there many times and enjoyed the hiking and finding of some artifacts.

The basic layer of vegetation is dandelO'S procedural grass. Alone without any other plants, it looked very good.

Enjoy,

Bob

wow i love this image! i'm trying this type of scene for my upcoming aurora borealis deviation however i have no luck in creating the landscape the way i like it

loving the terrain shapes here Bob, and the veg fits well!

[Marcos Silveira]

Love the sense of scale in this one!!!! WOW

I echo ro-nin. Excellent scale.

Thank you all. Later this morning, I'll post the .tgd; but, I need to delete one of the populations and name all the others that are available here for download.

Fantastic Bob, what in incredible sense of space. Very subtle lighting, as well. Although I would restrict the stars to a lot less and only high up in the sky, where they wouldn't be over shone by haze, as it is still relatively light here. Perhaps also a bit more clustering of the shrubs? But a great piece already!

Thank you Ulco, there is room here for improvement no doubt. I agree regarding the clustering of the bushes. I think I should has used the painted shader rather than the distribution shader for the two separate populations. Also, the stars are maybe too bright for the lighting ...I agree. I appreciate your suggestions.

Or just a rough fractal and a few hits on the seed....

I often have reduced the density shader to 0.3+/-. Then use the fractal breakup to determine a random where the objects go. It works as a mask quite easily. If another object is juxtaposed beside the first object, just duplicate the fractal breakup and reverse the colors.
