Title: Desert Storm
Post by: gregtee on October 10, 2013, 07:12:58 PM
Still working on the foreground a bit and some of the fake stones in the distance aren't right yet.  Clouds are derived from Frank B's Could Pak.

I like this, especially those pop outs in the landforms. Looking forward to your next.

Lovely work Greg!

I love how the light illuminates the bottom of the large foreground cloud.

Great rock shapes, good looking clouds, and well arranged lighting make for a very impressive render.

Thanks guys.  I'd love to take credit for the clouds but they're from Frank's cloud pak.  Highly recommend them as they saved me countless hours trying to figure that all out for myself.  The rocks were derived from the voronoi_fractalized node script put up by Glen5700 some time back.  I just keep pushing the numbers around forcing weird and strange outcroppings from a basic perlin displacement and changing the number seed until I got something I liked.  This result was just a huge happenstance as I was trying to achieve something else at the start of the project but when this structure presented itself I abandoned the original idea and just went off on this direction. 

I guess that's one thing I really like about Terragen.  You never really know where you're going to end up because so many strange and unexpected things happen along the way, or at least where I am in the learning curve.

Impressive terrain and landscape. Is the terrain WM or done in TG?

All TG. 

What's interesting about this particular terrain profile is that I appear to have an entire planet's worth of structure to mess around with.  I've been wandering around this scene all night and it seems there's no end to new and interesting shapes being presented, though all have the same basic feel.  I'll put up some more soon.
