As I pondered what to title the image, I remembered my grandmother saying 'whatchamacallit' when she couldn't remember the name of something.
Looks like it would be easy to break an ankle amongst the rocks. ;D
Maybe make the rocks a little more sparse............... ???
Wow Bob, these last two pieces are really fine images. Great rock formation and the vegetation is very nicely populated. I think you are really in the "zone" these days.

Yep, it would make hiking a bit easier. But, out hear in the desert, rocks are all over the place, especially near the foothills.

Thanks Doug. I have a thing for rocks and unique formations. Just today going through some old slides we took during the late 70s and early 80s, I ran across some neat photos we took in Utah while hiking.
Next image will hopefully be of an uphill trek displaying some nice formations. I'd like to make something like Dune's ('Rock in between') images.

DO SHARE THOSE ROCKS!!!! OR if you want to keep them, but also kinda want to share them a little bit, you can just share them with me ;) ;D I'll be happy to take em. 8)
Those formations are the outcome of first, a displaced cube that mhaze shared with me; then secondly, became the outcome of files shared by mogn/Hetzen/j meyer and combined with Mick's cube. You are familiar with the 'Rectangular Noise' thread - you will see those files there.
The vegetation models are from Walli except for the Atlas Blue Cedar which is an XFrog freebee (maybe he made it while working there).
Thanks for the tip! 8)
Nice render.

Your welcome; hope you will create something with it.
Turned out really nice, Bob. But (there's always a 'but') what about the road? I can see a hint of a path, but I think it would be great if you turn that or in a next file into a real road (dilapadated tarmac road) or more defined gravel path. Maybe with a rusty sign. For size and contrast sake.
Great stuff and vista ;)
Nice one Bob, love the colour and texturing of the rocks. The grass on the rocks is a nice touch too but I'd like to see more variety's of veg and maybe some closer deciduous trees.
That looks great, Bob! These rocks are fantastic! BUT (;D) I agree with Ulco. A more enhanced path (or road) would be a nice reference for the overall scale of the image.
I like the vegetation like this, (once more:) but the distribution could be a bit more irregular.

Thank you Ulco. Yes, the path looks worn down to almost nothing. I had tried to incorporate a gravel road by creating a clip file of yours and others road setups without success (guess I've reached my level of incompetence ...LOL). I like your idea of a sign; or something else for comparison of size to the 40+ meter height of the formation.
I have started another similar project where I'll use the displaced cubes and will get the road setup and improved vegetation distribution.

Thank you Mick. Your file of the displaced cube coupled with mogn's rectangular noise file (plus Hetzen's and j meyer's ideas and files) have enabled very nice formations. My next project will have a much better array of vegetation and placement.

Thank you Hannes. I'm getting my thoughts together for hopefully a much improved scene using these displaced cubes. And, the vegetation will contain different varieties and improved distribution.
Nice image and title.
Agree that the path could be enhanced,but I'd keep it natural,no tarmac.
Keep them coming Bob!

Thank you Jochen. I'll begin working on a new version today.
Awesome. Love it.
Hoodoo voodoo!
Super rock work Bob!

Hoodoo Voodoo...best comment ever...
Forgot to comment earlier. Love the rock. Match the surroundings to its quality and you have a stunner. I 'garontee' you that :)
