I finally got an account on Vimeo.
I'll just bump this thread when I can post more. That's not too often. :P
My airship video and a new rocket launch:

No post work on the images, just some noise from the Garage Band app

Cool!
Not bad at all. Good sound on that rocket launch!
I like #2. But I like both in terms of doing animation. Good going man! Please keep doing it, make more and better! We need more animators around here.
Like both, but #2 is the winner.
Thread Bump!
new video for you geologists:

30 hours of render :P This is the first time I have ever used a merge node.
That's very cool and educational.
As Dune says: very cool and educational - it remembres me to the intro of TerraX.
Agree with the others: cool!

What does the merge node do in this cool volcano?
I wanted the rim to get a more-weathered look as the millions of years went by.
I just blended two shaders for the rim shader on the crater(shader). then animated a cross fade of sorts to do that. It could use some refinement but I was proud of the fact I could; think of a project, sit down for four hours, and get something close to what I imagined.
Usually, a project goes off in some crazy place because I did not understand concepts. The fog is slowly lifting. 8)
I also used a heightfield operator to blend a masked heightfield for the basaltic plug. That was masked with a painted shader. But that was old hat.
Thanks for the encouragement,
Russ
Very cool.Haven't dug into animation that deeply yet but will remember to use the Merge...a truly handy shader.
This is super cool. Love the crater erosion, like other mentioned, a nice use of it. I really love the things people achieve with this software.
A new bump for my vids on Vimeo!
After all this time I got a new concept figured out somewhat.
Here's a link to a 360 movie I rendered.
https://vimeo.com/260885808
I used satellite radar data for the DEM tif of the Kahiltna Glacier in Alaska. I used a screen shot of a well known earth-mapping site to use as an image map.
It's pretty low-quality as like the others—just testing the whole workflow of this.
that's pretty cool, thanks for sharing your work.
Great work! Thanks for the link.

nice to see a Black Brant, they used to launch those North of here in Churchill till one version or another of the Progressive Conservatives axed the program
Bobby, Good grief! are you really in Churchill?
I'm in Fairbanks, Alaska of course. We're neighbors!
You must spend long winter hours muddling with TG.
Since posting those earlier videos, I have a new i-7 i-mac now that does a fair job rendering. I am hoping to get more involved as the summer progresses. 360-VR is fun. I have so many ideas and so little time.
Cheers

nope, bout 1004km South of it as the crow flies but we have awful weather as well, just for slightly less time. Getting a turn for the wortse for Easter after a pleasant past 3 days...like that...so I do spend a fair bit of winter time terragening, when I'm not playin my guitars. As I'm retired that's my life 4 now.
Another thread bump. I posted a melting glacier on Vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/user39125277
I updated the 3-d flight up the Kahiltna glacier too. Vimeo kind-of trashes the resolution so it looks worse. Im using it for free, so I guess I have no leg for complaining though.
The Voronoi work is really working for me in the crevasses.
Cheers all,
russ
Cool effects!
These are very cool. Not sure how I missed the earlier posts, but the volcano is my favorite with the melting glacier a close second. Are you an geology teacher or professional? These could find a good home on someone's earth-science website.
Cool effects! Well done!

Nope, I'm just a starving artist like many others here. TG with animation just lends itself sweetly to this kind of geological morphing. Im trying to extend the limits of my skills to have a better portfolio to show some clients that ARE doing geophysical work. Some projects in the future hopefully(fingers-crossed emoji)
My rotten ice is not yet to satisfaction. I really want to get that blue glow to sit deep in the glacier. I've seen some awesome work by the masters on this forum so I know it can be done.
Thank you all for the words of encouragement.
Russ
If you're using a mask to get the crevices, use the same mask to adjust the colors by adding a bluish color adjust to darken and some bluish luminosity, mix it well (pretty hard) and you can get some sort of bluish glowing crevices.
Thanks Ulco,
I was using two copies of the famous DandelO "Cracks" clip file fed into a merge shader with a Constant Scalar blue node(gasp!) as a mix controller. It's embarrassing how wild the node network gets. It looks like a hungry spider has been working on my web.
I am slowly reading the Wiki and experimenting with the settings to educate myself. I'll try to go with your suggestion and see what happens.
I like these kind of animations. More please :)
Here's another video. It's rather like a school exercise for me as I work on controlling Voronoi cracks and 4d noise. It's not perfect, but I spent over 24 hours rendering this. I think the best part is the lava.
https://vimeo.com/326409828
The jitteriness on the approach is just low frame-rate and poor G.I. quality in the render. I only used 4d noise in the PF for the lava in the crater.
Very nice. I agree; lava seems alive.
My compliment! Very cool and I agree too! Very nice lava effect! :)
