Flaky Canyon Strata WIP update 5

[RArcher]

The displacements are looking great!

[Renegade26]

Not sure how you managed it but the scale and texture + lighting are all V V V realistic!

Nice job!

[littlecannon]

Cheers Ryan and Renegade26, This one is for Seth Rocks at the base need plenty of work yet and the trees are gone for now (faster rendering). I'm still working on more colour variations, then onto the rest... tinker, tinker.
Cheers, Simon.

This is looking real goood!

[ndeewolfwood]

really cool rocks structures here....i can 't wait your fake stone surfacing...

[Henry Blewer]

I like this. The vertical breaks in the surface are really nice.

[Zairyn Arsyn]

the canyon displacements/texturing are looking Awesome, plus i  like the FS on  the bottom of the canyon

[littlecannon]

Another.... does anyone know what type of trees I might find here, as I don't think these work , they are there to show scale at the moment. Water will be tried later as it slows down rendering.
Cheers, Simon.

Walli's Plant pack pines, including the old pine would work. If it was wetter, Xfrog's sampler pines. Neuspadrin's grass pack has a dry grass patch which would look good also.

[littlecannon]

Thanks njeneb... they would work

[FrankB]

I would actually go for dry bushes and grasses only, no trees. Sparse distribution, like in US Midwest.

Agreed. If this were however north africa we would see clumps of palm trees in deep canyons like this. I guess i depends on what part of the world one want's to portray.   

[littlecannon]

Thanks for the suggestions, I did want to try grasses and bushes, but the scale of the canyon made them almost invisible. They would work on a nice low shot (I may try them on the ledge just on the left). And yes, Africa is another thought, which I may follow too. As I have a nice canyon going on here, I can develop other scenes from it. I must focus on what this scene is first.

I'm experimenting with a river at the moment... I couldn't resist. More to follow.

Cheers, Simon.

This is another version with more colours added into the rock face. (This is a stripped down focus on rock face version.) I have another version with rockfall, trees and river rendering at the moment.

Seth, you may like this one better.....Keep ya posted.

Cheers, Simon.
