Title: Need some suggestions and ideas!
Post by: dhavalmistry on September 09, 2007, 01:46:37 AM
I have been working on this one today and I am very close to losing it and throw my keyboard and mouse or anything I find at my monitor......

I have been trying to add some resolution to the vertical edge via functions but I just cant get it to work

I want to add cracks and gashes to make it look natural. I also tried FrankB's crack function without any luck

I want the ground to be flat and the top also to be however it is right now.....

can anybody think of anything????

If it's a loaded TER try turning fractal detail OFF before adding the "fancy" displacement clips.

Look inside the internal network of those groups ... there might be a hidden secret.

i find using displacement on the base colours node shader also helps.

They are already connected to those displacement shaders (Get Voroni and Get Strata) in the terrain group.
When you look into those shaders, you can see that they are assigned. ,-)

thanx man.....do you provide any tutors???.....how the hell do you learn all these functions.....no matter how much I play with them, I end up crashing TG2 or get no results (probably because the functiond doesnt work)
