I used a Y projection (with my squares.gif) and merged that with a transform shader with 90º rotations, which also works.

I've done cliff faces like that in the past as well with Y projection

Wow, what a great experiment. Will definitely be checking this out since I've attempted this myself in the past... rather poorly I might add.

Perhaps some pre-recorded videos?

This is something I've wanted to do for some time. But the Xeon X5450 I was on was just waaay to out of date, and AMD A10 APU I am on now has serious weird anomalies when recording while TG tries to utilize all it can of the 2 of 4 threads (which already makes the experience super slow for the video).

I have a hand-me-down PC I am hesitantly checking out. It only has a old DVI video card in it, and I have no VGAs or adapters available to test, and will not drop my RX 480 in it just to hope it doesn't pop lol Judging by the large rectangle backplate, and the large fan and heat sync, I do believe it's a LGA 2011/20xx. So I may have lucked out if it is in working order. The original owner put a lot of worker into the fan setup and 4 TB of 5400 RPM HDDs so I am assuming it was a workstation. Only 4 RAM slots though, which two have been recently pulled leaving 8gb of what was probably 16gb kit. 

So I think I may just wait and order some thermal paste and VGA/Adapters to test. I'd be nice to reset the CPU just to make sure the application hasn't gone bad.

I do fear it's dead though. I have a power tester I could theoretically use to go through and test the board but alas I have no idea what to do there. Lol Not that tech savvy like some of my old friends. I'd probably short it trying to test it. Lol

Echo this! Reminds me of Gargantua in Interstellar.

Thanks sboerner, that's the idea 

Hey Ariel, this is pretty cool! I can probably help you with rendering an animation, but would want to perhaps make some adjustments (longer, for one thing). Let's talk in email. oshyan AT planetside.co.uk

Thank you very much Oshyan, no problem with that

No real point here just messing about. Turns out I really like the contrast between the very strictly horizontal strata and the relative chaos of the veg. Thanks to Dune for the bush and also the grass, Walli for the noble one. C&C welcome

Honestly I don't know the details of what Matt plans, but I believe cameras are included, and would think lights would be as well.
