Hello there people.
I have been doodling with terragen for way too long in the past months. And i'm never quite satisfied with my works.
[latest render as an attachment, just to show what my renders look currently]
So, to the questions. I'm sure these are fairly frequently asked ones but the thing that stops me from finding em is my grammar. I'm not a native speaker so i don't know the correct terms to use. Apologies..
1. How do i add snow for example to the eroded/sloped parts of my terrains. Like in this photograph:
http://i.imgur.com/n5uOdNN.jpg , i'm sure there is a way to do this. I have seen a couple of renders like this but can't really find em right now :/. I'm aware of maximum / minimum slopes etc, but it just doesn't quite cut it as you might imagine. Could painted shader be the answer ? Share your thoughts please
2. When using image map shader to.. lets say to some rocks on the beach that are really close to the camera. What would be the optimal settings for the "size" part ? I feel like if the size is 500x500 i seem to get blurry results no matter how big my image originally is. And if i make it 1x1 it looks okay but i feel like this shouldn't be done..
3. When i want to change the color of an object, say.. grass for example. Is the correct way to change the color to go to the tab : Colour -> tint diffuse colour -> an add an surface shader with a certain color there. Or is there a smarter way to do it ?
Thanks to everyone who bothers helping me. Feel free to ask questions if something is unclear, as i said i'm not a native speaker so no doubt there can be some.. hard to read text here..
Thank you !
