Planet Surfacing Tests (WIP)

[zionner]

Hey all

I'm not sure if anyone has used the same method, I've never seen a post about it so I guess not, or its been to simple to post.

Two Known Issues: Displacement is waay to high, and therefore looks un-realistic
                           Water + the Displacements = errors lol






And of course: C&C Welcome

You should (or are you?) just use the planet shader, in my opinion.

[zionner]

it is a planet surface shader (I guess i wasnt clear on this point)

What my Aim is, is to make a clip so the shader looks better at closer angles such as that

I'm not sure I quite understand what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to add a powerfractal displacment in addition to the planet shader?

[zionner]

Yes, basicly

Just not as high displacement as that

What I want to create from it is a more detailed looking view from that angle, by using extra displacements

[nvseal]

So are you planning one using output from the planet shader to control the displacement distribution?

[zionner]

No, I'm trying to use Planet Shader for the Colour Distribution,

Then to use Displacements to create the..well..the Planets displacements heh

Water + the Displacements = errors lol

you got that right....

this one reminds me of the DVD cover of the documentary series "Planet Earth" by Discovery Channel....

No, I'm trying to use Planet Shader for the Colour Distribution,

Then to use Displacements to create the..well..the Planets displacements heh

Don't you want the colors and the displacement to coincide to some degree?

[zionner]

Well, That should be acheived by the options avalible in the Planet Shader Settings, where you set the setting for the colours, you just need to tweak it till it fits your displacement
