Starting another new series utilizing some of the advice from others, just first test rendering but it will progress.
Nice start. I like the cliff.
Good feel of scale!
I like the breakup work in the foreground, to the left and center. Adds a lot to it.
Yeah nice start! Lots of potentials tere :D
Yup, you're getting it. Agree with Dune on the cliff...I like massive cliffs for some reason. Following this thread.
Soo..got to playing with the fake stones shader. I'm trying to ad some displacement to the stones but it doesn't seem to be working out to well LOL!! Have been trying to add texture and some displacement to the stones as child layers etc, but it doesn't seem to want to play nice..sigh sad panda:-/ Here's a side by side test of 2 renders adding the strata displacement as a child layer of the fake stone shader, obviously I'm not getting the lil striated rocks I'm wanting WHEEEEeee
Looks amazing. Has an epic scale to it!

Have you tried adding a Surface layer in the Fakestone Surface shader slot...see clip.
You can this way add colour and other displacement through the Surface layer.
Hmm will give it a shot...to be continued heheh

I wound up after a few ideas didn't pan out, sticking the Strata 'twixt the Surface layer and the Fakestones and it works there so you could just stick one in there; but my way you have access to excess texturing.
Did you miss the .tgc I added?
Ok..done with playing with the weirdo fake rock crap LOL!!! Will do something else with the same scene. Post coming soon.

So that didn't work eh/ I realized I'd sent a .tgc with 100m rocks, hardly a fair start and then I tried scaling everything down but wound up crashing before I'd got it. Had never tried strata in fakestones before but will try again as it was promising at the start.
So I stripped everything down, made a sky and will start again from here, adjusting striation etc:-)
Another "bare" render, adjusted the strata out a bit, I think I got the hang of it now.
I'm gonna give er another try another day as it should be doable.
Am working on "textures" now its coming along.
Interesting twist on it. completely different feel even though it is the same terrain. 8)
Here's a more close up look at the strata , added a PF and such and been tweaking the settings out a bit, starting to get what I'm after and its actually pretty simple and renders smooth and fast. When I get my results I will post the file for you all to play with.
Very impressive. The strata looks great!
"starting to get what I'm after" I'll say, agree with Hannes on your strata work.
Thx guys, now to texture the damn thing LOL!
So here's a .jpg of the file, I'll upload the .tgd file in the file sharing section ha! Its really simple and should render in under 3 minutes un textured.
