Tablelands

I have a basic start of off something here but i am undecided what direction i should take this. I know i need to pile the stones more and fix the strata. I wanted to widen the field of view for that more panoramic effect. Off course color, vegetation and all will come later on.

The left half looks like it "slid" down the terrain like a mudslide. Is it possible to change the direction of the grooves to the x axis instead of z. And lower the frequency of the grooves like slide marks. I like it, waiting to see where this goes.

The grooves are created using a primary single power fractal and strata and outcrops shader so i do not know if i can alter it that way.

You could pull them through a transform shader for rotation. And you could try breaking up the long lines by another rotated and masked by PF strata shader, perhaps even on an angle, unless the long lines are intentional and needed.

I might try that but in the meantime i made some more changes and have more piled stones and a better strata effect. I need to add more dirt grime overall for the next iteration.

Some day, i hope to erode all of this and make it look proper.

Curious, where this goes.
I like the table mountains in the far very much.

Yeah it looks interesting.

This is looking cool!

Cool! Make a Star Wars scene out of it

Or some other sci-fi scene!

nice render. Looks interesting to me. Curious what the finished feel will be. I can't tell from this where you are going to take it.

OK, i added color but still lacking tiny bumps on my strata. Something is there but i need to fix that. Not one hundred percent set on the colors.

Maybe a futuristic outpost can be placed somewhere in there?

Oh, I like this very much! The colors in the strata seem a bit too... pure? Lacking in small-scale detail? But the displacement shapes are fantastic, there's a real sense of geology here, of layers. Well done.

I added in some more tiny details here and there.

This is far better than the first iteration, very nice strata.

AP · August 01, 2015, 02:59:48 AM

Alright, great. I do want to add plants but maybe very sparingly. Perhaps some structures.
