Title: Geocontrol 2 tests
Post by: Will on March 23, 2008, 08:18:22 AM
I got Geocontrol about two weeks ago and I've been playing around with the sequel's beta some so I'll post some of my tests.

First the canyon test. I tried to give the bottom a dried up salt texture.

This is a great example of why always saving an EXR version is a good idea. No re-render required in this case, just adjust exposure in post, or do tonemapping. ;D

You may have been able to improve the original one with EXR but moving the sun to give more light in a real way shows off the interesting terrain to nice effect.

The island looks good, but the haze is interfering with what I can see.  Must be a big island.

GeoControl 2 is amazing.

It gives one so much control  ::) and builds quite fast.

I wish some apps could handle 8000er terrains :(
