I don't know what going on for your population though, sorry to say.

Ah...*cough*...yeah I accidentally forgot to mask the population so it wouldn't cover the entire planet.

can you please tell me how to mask the population???....

dhavalmistry · February 21, 2007, 12:56:38 AM

can somebody PLEASE tell me whats going on in with population

the circled area should look like the forest on the right side

I should also mention that I do not have any masks applied to the population

it looks the same as the right side, the only difference is the right side is in the shade and isn't showing up as much. almost looks like its has a painted mask at first glance..

thats my opinion

dhavalmistry · February 21, 2007, 01:39:36 AM

but what are those black blocks like? on left side??

even if left side isnt in that much shade....there should be any problem like this...

king_tiger_666 · February 21, 2007, 01:43:07 AM

how is the vegetation done? a surface shader or using obj objects?... how have you restricted the vegetation cover too?.

dhavalmistry · February 21, 2007, 01:52:49 AM

the vegetatin is done via LWO object and the only limitation I applied is distribution shader but thats on right side.....

there are 3 populations in the scene....left, middle, right

king_tiger_666 · February 21, 2007, 02:04:07 AM

very strange, does terragen render the lwo object alright in other renders?..

dhavalmistry · February 21, 2007, 02:05:46 AM

yes....TG2 renders LWO objects perfectly for me..its just this one...

Finally got around to this. Is the twist and shear shader allowed?

Will · February 21, 2007, 08:26:06 PM

yep it is, nice render by the way.

Regards,

Will

Some great stuff so far all! Thanks for helping make this a great post and keep those images coming.

nvseal · February 22, 2007, 07:52:43 AM

I changed my first with and a twist and shear shader and I think it came out better.

ProjectX · February 23, 2007, 11:42:46 AM

nice shot nvseal. Try using the redirect shader to put some more detail on that vertical rock face though, you can find a tutorial for it on meltingIces tutorial page.

BTW. My scene is finished, I'm just rendering, it might be up within the week.

nvseal · February 23, 2007, 10:46:21 PM

I've added a redirect shader as ProjectX has suggested.
