Something else again, warped sinus sand displacement. Credits to the balloon maker, whom I don't know.

Beautiful !  Love those images. Nice work on them.

Nice dunes, Dune. ;)
The sand displacements are reworked ocean waves? Your hard work has paid off. Beautiful!

nice looking landscape dune.
this warped ripples looks to be a  very good way to making dune details.
Maybe it will be a good idea to reduce the frequency just a little and blending it with something, it looks just a bit  too "mathematic" to me.
Anyway that's already a good surface.

The POV is very close to the sand (as you can see from the sand grains), so the first ripples' field is only a few meters across. The ripples are about 5 cm wide/high, but you're right; there could be more 'blend'. Although you sometimes see huge fields of quite similar ripples in desertscapes.
@ Henry; no these are just 'get position-x to scaler-divide by constant-sinus-warped by X-redirected PF' ripples.

They look very good. I'll have to try this out. My sand always looks like butter icing for a cake. ::)

Creating sand isn't easy (for me), I know, I've tried and I have failed. Yours looks great, that's for sure.
Heard of computer graphics? CG? Terragen 2, the landscape generating program, also known as TG, a whole cool way to create realistic CG - with TG.

Dune

Try this as a basis, but reduce sizes significantly

Thank you Ulco. It will be handy.

Excellent desert sand and wispy blowing sand; great image.
