Title: Mars Crater
Post by: dandelO on October 14, 2013, 11:37:11 AM
Just a couple of angles of a new .tgd that I hope to tune and animate.

Cheers for looking! :)

;) I was looking for a decent rover model but, since those wankers in power have shut down lots of their U.S. government sites, NASA is down.

There's a beauty on Turbosquid but 200 quid is a bit much for this little mess around project.

A beautiful crater full of subtle displacements - love it!

Hi dandelO, nice start.
Is that all procedural?
I have been experimenting with a similar scene using Hirise-data lately.
I Lkie the shape of your crater and especially the dunes inside it!
The colours apear a bit pale and pinkish , at least on my screen.
My best Regards,
Jan

Hi, Jan. Yes, it's just a regular crater shader, based on the dimensions of Victoria Crater. A negative and a positive X/Z redirect on the rim, a different smaller fractal on Y. I think I'll use my crossed strata setup when I go back to it and reduce the horizontal one a bit. The dunes are just 2 low octave, stretched fractals, one Y rotated -30, the other +30. There really isn't much to the scene, the area with the most nodes is the carpet of rock layers.

Thanks for the note on the colours. I tweaked the saturation and contrast a bit, I think I prefer the low shot, and although the colours are identical and post work tweaks were the same on each render, the high shot looks very pink, indeed. I'll play a bit with that later. Cheers again! :)

Surface colours and atmosphere edit, that still isn't quite right, eh?
Now I think I've kind of gone off the lateral rim displacements too, they look very amateurish and clearly CG to me, sharp and jaggy with a lack of control. I'll try and work on that and, hopefully, come back with a more convincing result later.

Cheers! :)

I'm sure you saved the first version before testing?
