Changed haze and activated soft shadows.

This is an old TG9 terrain, imported for Classic Erosion plugin. Notice I was able to use a single population of trees for the entire terrain. Yay!

The surface shader looks really soft in some spots, but at the same time it gives it a foliage look.

I could imagine you could offset the layer, mask it with some voronoi billows or something, and use a computer normal/terrain to than pinch in the base of the offset to create the look of dense folliage/bushes from afar. Though using normals and lateral displacement would be tricky.

Thanks for the input! Yes this is a pretty bare canvas presently. I have added some displacement to the greener areas so far. Perhaps the browner "wear" is a little strong. I was sort of going for a deforestation look and for scale it is not quite right. I just hate trees that look like dots, but for accuracy I shall reduce their size and add some variations.

Rock Face for TG4 free version by Dune

Erosion Classic plugin Trials of erosion on columnar rockface will continue. I also changed some variables in the node setup just for fun.

Dune

Third one is nice. You got rid of the nasty laterals that are visible on 1&2.

Looks good. I like number 3 and 4 especially.

This one is really nice, except for the flowers. They are too big and a too defined spot, IMO.

Really well done. Ditto on the flowers. Maybe some more colour variation on the bark of the trees. It looks a little solid, and maybe too bright so shadows seem strangely lit.

PS this reminds me of those old documentary scenes from the 90s, I expect a T-Rex to come walking out into the clearing at any moment...

Voronoi Triceratops skin

Rawr! Lol Haha that's not bad. I thought it was a original texture.

luvsmuzik

Thanks WASasquatch! This time I did a little more fiddling. I am just messing with the merge shader and scale. Skin/hide is the basic voronoi cracks clip with a couple PFs thrown in for color blending. I may try a more tropical plant setup with the old prehistoric tree files ....just havin fun.

bobbystahr

the T Rex looks better but not overly fond of the Triceratops, maybe too much bump, and maybe add a wee bit of bump to T Rex as he seems to need detail.
something borrowed,
something Blue.

An old tgd file by WASasquatch, Bulbous cracks. Ran this through some mild erosion WIP

luvsmuzik

Here I halved or doubled the x,z values in vector constants for the voronoi noise

Slope contraints, fuzzy zone adjustments snow layer

I shall try some trees up top next...
