Title: Another WIP
Post by: nvseal on March 20, 2007, 01:31:15 PM
Well, this render seems done (that is, I'm not sure what else to add), but at the same time it feels like something is missing. I just can't put my finger on it. It feels like it needs something else to be truly finished.

very nice displacement on the terrain (functions?)

maybe you can add a high level cirrus 2d cloud layer with very very low coverage adjust

I love it!!!

I agree - very clever terrain...

Thanks, actually, the terrain is just a power fractal v3 placed over a power fractal terrain. The power fractal v3 is set is to perlin ridges with a low buoyancy of variation (making the displacment look like its going to down into rather than out of the surface) and there are some other small tweaks but the main change is the buoyancy of variation  -- I also raised the noise variation. So its actually quiet simple and can be achieved much faster than one might think.
