Canyon Wall *FINAL* + Tutorial :)

[Phylloxera]

Beautiful work ! Extremly realistic !

[NWsenior07]

Really one of the best renders I've seen, well done!

Thanks a bunch everybody

For the ones who're interested, here's a screenshot of all the nodes.
It looks a bit messy and complicated but actually it's all quit straight-forward.

Martin, LOL

Thanks.

It looks like spaghetti and meatballs without the meatballs, but I really do appreciate it.  Last time moodflow did something like this, I learned loads and it took about a month before I understood it all.

Very Impressive work! Wondering if you have a full scene with the entire canyon (both sides and the canyon floor) and maybe a river? That would be fantastic!

Thanks Josh
I'm working on that but I'm running into some struggles with modifying the overall canyon shapes.
After that I hope to render a scene with water and maybe some vegs too

Sometimes one needs to cheat so to speak. I once combined 3 different renders to make a full canyon. Rendered the left side canyon with the displacements coming in from the left. Then rendered the right side with the displacements coming in from the right. Rendered the canyon floor with mild displacements then blended them together in Photoshop.  Wasn't that great but it worked since I didn't know how to control things and still don't really. LOL

It would be great if Planetside could add your 'Canyon Wall' nodes as a preset is some future release.

Since I can see this as a compliment, thanks

However, the settings are quite specific for this terrain and as you know yourself they are hard to implement in other scenes/terrains like the Mittens project we've been working on for some time, remember?

If I have time tonight and if anybody's interested I'll write some explanations about this node-setup.

Martin

[rcallicotte]

   Yes.  Interested.  Of course.   

[choronr]

Yes, an explanation would help me better understand ...thanks.

Ok, I'm working on a pdf file covering the majority of aspects involved in creating this image.
Please stay tuned, this could take some time
