Title: Creating a dune desert?
Post by: Andrew March on July 06, 2012, 11:55:08 AM

I'm stuck, have no idea where to start even!

Anyone feel like helping me out by giving me some pointers on how to start creating a sand dune infested desert :D

For info, I am looking at creating something like this... http://www.travelblog.org/Wallpaper/pix/tb_mui_ne_sand_dunes.jpg

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

For the small ripples there is some information somewhere here in the forum. For the overall large smooth dunes you can try a perlin ridge PF with only 2 noise octaves as a displacement shader in the terrain tab. Play with the size but keep in mind that there should be only two noise octaves to create this soft dune look.
