hello,

is any one willing to tell me how to achieve these kind of terrains with terragen, i am aware that the distance shader can be used to
control the terrain and archive similar results like this or am i totally wrong?

in vue i would use hyper terrains but i don't know how to achieve something like this in terragen

thanks in advance

The constructor himself would be able to tell you exactly, but my educated guess would be two inverted crater shaders, or simple shape shaders+ displacement, after which the towers are redirected (X/Z). The sand might be formed by using sinus (blue) functions. There's a tutorial about that in the documentation area.

My guess too.
If I remember correctly the sand-shader here is a photo-texture.

thanks for the reply guys i will try what you said and see if i get similar results

in the mean time i have exported a hyper terrain[rock object] from vue with displacement/colour maps but when i import the objects as an obj it doest import the colour map.

see attached project file - this is essentially how it works.

wow that looks deceivingly simple

i see so the redirect shader is what gives it the this distorted look

thanks man you just saved me allot of head ache, not to mention hair
