Hi!

Awesome...learned somethings right off...thanks again for doing these.

[archonforest]

Niiiiice!

Beautifully done! Thanks so much, on behalf of everybody.

[Hannes]

Thanks a lot again! Fantastic!

I have one question: on the third GIF of your last post's first link ("Lead-in octaves 2") the structure almost looks like elephant skin or even cracked mud. Is this a regular alpine fractal?

[russe166]

Yes, it has the standard settings, but the Lead-in octaves are 3, 4 and 5. The camera is placed in the orbit of the planet.

the settings are displayed in the dialog settings tab above the gifs...I was curious as well so tried a few and those settings are the start point.

Great! So could the alpine fractal with the appropriate scale- and lead-in octaves settings also be used for cracked surfaces?

Looks like, masked by a paint or SS shader...gonna try that.

I thought that looked interesting too Hannes. Did not see something like that from the alpine before. More proof that this gif project is very useful!

a quick & dirty says yup...here's my starting point on a default terrain, alpine constrained to the flat area.

Great, Bobby! Looks almost like a macro photography of human skin.
