Title: Faces in the Rock
Post by: choronr on February 03, 2015, 12:04:34 PM
'Faces in the Rock', akin to imagining objects formed by clouds.

While staring at the image, I was able to see a number of weird facial images on the rock formations. Look at it long enough and you will see what I mean.

The image was created and modified by using the ideas and files from a number of folks (thanks guys)  in the forum; namely:

•   Walli - all vegetation.
•   Thelby - Abies White Fir trees.
•   dandelO - Fake stones.
•   FrankB - Hero rocks.
•   mogn/Hetzen/j meyer - Rectangular noise Rock formations.
•   Andy Welder - Cloud formation.
•   Dune - Dirt path derived from his 'Mountain Road'.

I really like those rock formations; and hopefully, will be able to try and apply them to the surface of some mountains in a future project.

Enjoy,

   Bob

Very,very nice Bob! Congratulations.
Thank you Jochen. Will be trying to apply those rock faces to a mountainous terrain in another project.

The tree with its roots, great job on integrating it. Very nice scene you have here. Looking like the Black Hills :) (aka faces in the rock...lol)

Thank you otakar; and, it does look a bit like the Black Hills and Lakota country.

Thank you Jason. I'm still keen on trying another project with these formations.

Hey Bob, turned out really nice! The mist/low cloud is a good idea to break the distance. If this is a very dry area, you might turn the color like yellowish brown dirt and lay it in veils across the valley.

Hi Ulco,

Thanks for the good suggestions on this. Yes, this could be a 'high desert' type area adjacent to a sandy region. Coloring the mist/low cloud is easy enough; but, not sure about laying it in veils. I guess maybe adjusting the XYZ in the density shader?

Try a cloud density shader with above average density and sizes 50/500/5 (e.g.) as inputs for the altitude offset and depth modulator. Play with the 1 in the depth modulator if the effect is too strong.

Thank you Ulco, I will try that out. Busy now; but will get to it soon.
