Cool stuff Ulco :-).

Ulco, the things you do with terragen are just awesome to watch!

Awesome Ulco. It's a thought provoking stuff. Both visual and procedural wise

So real. Yet, I would be tempted to not have the crops look like crops (in rows); but, rather go for random patches of weeds. In all, this is an extra special piece.

Just another thought; I would like to see a Mars scene with the tracks of the Rover plowing along the terrain (or should I say the Marain).

QuoteMars scene with the tracks of the Rover
No problem  ;)

I made some other maize stumps, with dried leaves on it, might just do another one, although I'm busy again with my trains now.

Dune

Well, you supplied me with an idea. Does this look like Mars a bit? With reference picture in the next post.

from the internet, I liked the 'vulcanic' looking rocks.

Insane details. Great mud shading. ;)

Ulco, this is exciting ... the colors; atmo, surface and rocks are right on. - and, those tracks are amazing. Sure wish you could teach us how to produce them.

Here's a better render. I read that the Mars atmo is kind of dusty. Plucked a Rover from the web, but I haven't changed the glass and such yet. Just dumped it on the surface. I am thinking about how to make the 'flakes' that stick out in the reference photo....

The tracks are a photoshop painted square mask, set to 0.6m wide, repeated Y-wise, fed through a transform shader to get the second track, and then warped. This whole set is duplicated and the warping fractal (or Perlin 3D for smoother effect) slightly changed, so you get front and back wheels slightly different in corners (like in real life). Then merge it all together. This should get you on track  ;)

Very nice. It's difficult to tell if this is rendered or a photo. It looks very much like the test area photos from JPL.

Thanks Ulco for this explanation. This iteration of your image is very good. I can visualize an image where the Rover is at the edge of a deep crater with tracks behind.

Always on the outer reaches of breaking the reality barrier, Ulco! Great stuff over the last few weeks!
