Procedural Canyons (hurrah!)

I like it - the next step would be to make very narrow canyons ,-)

Thanks for this explanation.  I'm struggling to understand concepts that you take for granted are clear and it isn't anything you're doing wrong; I'm in need of some real schooling.   

Thanks for the TGC as well.  Very generous.

To do that, you'd need to fiddle with the colour offset so that the majority of the fractal was white, probably using very few octaves of perlin ridges to preserve the canyon's length. otherwise you'd get a lot of very small canyons, more like massive pot holes really. I'll see what I can do.

You got a PM ,-)

Setting the Canyon Fractal's X and Z stretches to .25 narrows the canyons.  I also increased Y stretch to 5 and this looked pretty good.

Oh my God... I love you two, 3DGuy and ProjectX. Although I prefer 3DGuy's plateaus better; they're more suited to my needs.

I've been trying for ages to achieve this effect... thanks for the aid guys!
