Title: Old Riverbed
Post by: EoinArmstrong on August 25, 2013, 07:21:58 AM
WM Terrain originally... a couple of added Powerfractals

Where to go from here? :)

There are a few problems with the rocks on the right side.

Good feel over all though. I like the sand and pebbles a lot too. But I have a little bit of difficulty zeroing in on what the exact scale is... Maybe an object of clear and known size would help? A human would be ideal, but a man made object of common experience would work too... Not strictly necessary, just a thought.

I love the interesting and unusual overhang features you have on the canyon walls, but I agree the scale is a bit hard to determine. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about those large rocks in the riverbed itself is throwing me off I think.

I would get rid of the rocks in the gully all together, maybe a few and lots smaller. They are very rough and don't look natural. I do like the overall settings and redirects. Maybe a small winding river, dried or alive, at the bottom?

Ok - thanks, all... I'll have another crack at it over the next night or two :)

I agree about the rocks/stones placement. Maybe consider the largest of them near the upper slopes and the smaller ones (and just a few larger ones) in the lowest part of the terrain (river bed).

Modelled and added a root in XFrog, just to see if I could... added a couple of other XFrog pops and a T3 cloud preset.... 

Will post another with this terrain I think...

A different shot of the same terrain... a simple one, included coz I like grit and gravel!  Moving on...

I really like the terrain you are working with here, and the details you keep adding are great.  One of these days I am going to have to look into World Machine or Geocontrol... Or maybe find some free terrains online and use those.

Really nicely done on the fine details, the gravel and grit, as you say.
