Geocontrol 2 tests

Will · March 23, 2008, 08:18:22 AM

I got Geocontrol about two weeks ago and I've been playing around with the sequel's beta some so I'll post some of my tests.

First the canyon test. I tried to give the bottom a dried up salt texture.

It takes forever to render softshadows.

This is a great example of why always saving an EXR version is a good idea. No re-render required in this case, just adjust exposure in post, or do tonemapping.

Thanks guys, I'm actually working on a island now but I might come back to this.

You may have been able to improve the original one with EXR but moving the sun to give more light in a real way shows off the interesting terrain to nice effect.
