Another boredom doodle

Started with a modeling exercise using Fake Stones in the Terrain Editor and worked well enough to texture, which worked well enough to populate with Walli grasses, which all together provided a nice little stage to view my PoseRay displaced rocks. C&C welcome

Neat, very tundra northern-like. It looks cold and dry.

I like.........any info on process for "Poseray displaced rocks"? Sounds interesting.

Take a basic average poly rock shape into PoseRay and give it a texture that has a bump map as well and also I Cubic map it in the U/V tab if it has no U/V map.
Having prepared it go into the Groups tab and click on the Subdivision tab, and when there I always sub-d it twice.
Then go to the Displacement tab and load your bump map as the Displace map. The highest I've gone and got useable product was.001 at the white square
Next click 'Adaptive subdivision before displacement' and leave default
Then click 'Create gradient map' and when that finishes click the 'Displace geometry' button.
Let me know how that works for you.

That's what I got off it as well...must be approaching Autumn

Nice image and Poseray is sweet.

Thanks, and it is isn't it. one of the things keeping me on a pc stead of a mac.

Autumn can't come soon enough, except the dry part.

Really nice render, Bobby. Is the smooth 'bubble' a fake stone or a Poseray stone? It's kind of weird in this awesome terrain. BTW, I'd leave this sky out, or make a smoother one.

I like it very much!

Nicce one Bobby.

Very tundraesque.The rocky parts are cool.
And, yep, what about that smooth bubble thing?

Edit: And what is the Terrain editor you're refering to?

The place where you build the Terrain in the Node Editor or the pane on the left that reflects that...The Terrain tab gets you there . That bubble thang is a displaced in PoseRay rock that I was attempting to make a crystal map work on...not really successful. All the foreground rocks ar PoseRay displaced objects. The rocky outcrops are Fakestones warped with the warp shader..works rather well for massive style rockiness...

Agree on both counts, the 'bubble' rock is a failed attempt at crystal and the clouds were slated for a delete or redoing...thinking losing them is the best bet...was using them for shadows on the terrain but can do that with an off camera cloud just as well.

Heeded all the advice ans replace the 'bubble' rock with one of Walli's no opacity all poly pine bushes and a bunch of anemones under it.
