My new rock wall, (I'm done)

[Henry Blewer]

This new technique looks very good. I don't have anything to add, or suggest. this is well beyond my skill.

[RArcher]

Very nice Frank.  Makes me want to get back to working with rock walls... too much stuff and too little time.

[Dune]

Very inspiring, Frank. I really like the second version. If this were in a still moister environment some vertical shiny areas (Y-stretched ridges) would be great, to have water running down the rock. But that's relatively easy to add, I'd say. The rock itself is top notch!

I prefer the second one - but both are great

[FrankB]

I've made a third one, still work in progress though.

I kinda like the large outcrops, but I need to make the either fade away with distance, or apply a mask to switch them on an off in places.... (see top right corner, where you can see part of a farther canyon wall, where it doesn't look so good anymore.

Cheers,
Frank

[Henry Blewer]

I would be better if the rock wall were a bit farther away from the main face. Like an channeled canyon.

Coloring and displacements are very good. There are a couple very sharp areas, which look odd to me. Nothing else comes to mind for changes.

[Tangled-Universe]

Awesome work Frank. I really like the rough details and the coloring is really great!

The voronoi based outcrops are very nice, but indeed a big part of the current problem of applying it "DEM-wide"/in the distance.
Though the voronoi 3D gives quite random shapes it often looks repetitive from the distance.
You could reduce the voronoi-displacement effect by say 50% and out further outcrops and details with PF's.
Perhaps this way you will also avoid these small disc-shaped outcrops as seen in the middle on the far left.

I'd like to have a go with this one, see if I can implement my thoughts

Cheers,
Martin

Crazy displacements with or without problems ... Great , Frank 

Kadri.

[Seth]

the third one is really really good !

[inkydigit]

this is very interesting Frank, the results so far have been excellent!

[FrankB]

last one for today...

[Seth]

Oo

damn good Frank !
lovely surfaces and displacements

[Henry Blewer]

My first thought was WOW, then it's too bright. After my eyes took it all in and; this is really cool work. It looks quite natural.

[choronr]

There is nothing quite as striking as red rock; and, your work here is very exciting. From northwestern New Mexico throughout many parts of Utah and Arizona, such landforms prevail. Your work here (and Martin's) are very much appreciated.

[EoinArmstrong]

That last one is wonderful!  The third is great too - but the voronoi in the upper-right is a little too obvious for my taste
