Hi,
I have reworked the fake stone and hero rock pack. Here is a quick demo render. You see there are no more exploded stones, and I think the hero rock made a quantum leap in quality. I have also reworked the moss.
Just a little bit of cleaning up, and I will update the pack on NWDA. It's V2 of the pack, although it should probably be V1.1, as the concept remained the same for a large part - so existing customers will get a free update in the coming days.
Regards,
Frank
PS: the camera is very low to the ground, just 35 cm.
Very very nice detail on hero rock, love the shiny pebbles as well, smooth.
This is much better Frank, Thanks!
free updates ftw :P !!
very good moss Frank !
Hi
WOW realy good!
ciao
Naoo
This looks great! I want to go to the ocean now!
great, love the shiny pebbles :) just one quibble, the lighter pebbles in the hero stones shadow, some of them seem to be illuminated ...
I'm not suggesting your at "fault" here but is light somehow penetrating the larger stone ??
:)

Ooo, lichen/moss on the big'un. Nice! Free updates are very cool. :)
I do see the odd lit spot in the rock's shadow. Wonder what that's about...

Nice one ;D - look forward to the update.

Light patches in boulder's shadow could have something to do with the boulder's displacements. Not a big problem in my eyes as a dab or two of burn in Photoshop will sort that. Great that you've eradicated exploding stones, but noticed a couple of squashed-can pebbles. Again that's just a minor glitch. I'll be buying this updated version.

The upgrade notifications have been sent out to all existing fake stone pack customers.
Have fun! :)

PS: if you don't receive an email although you think you should, pleae contact me through the contact form on nwdanet.com
This way i can better keep track of things. Thanks.
I received the e-mail, followed the instructions and ordered the update. Within seconde I received the download code for the update. I click on the link.......it takes me to the download page. For the life of me I cannot seem to find where to input the download code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Never mind the above, I located the file. It was in my account information(under my orders)
Thanks anyway
Yossam, in the email, below the download code, there is a link.
That link has the download code already encrypted.
So if you just click on that link, it takes you to the doenload page, with your code auto filled in. You don't have to type it. The only thing that you need to do now is click on the button "start download".
Contact me again at webmaster ++at++ nwdanet.com in case it does not work for you.
thanks,
Frank
a clamped ridged displacement and more specular effect will be perfect for the moss....
Thank You Frank! Got it and FireFox actually worked this time.

holy cow! I'm relieved :)
Top stuff, Cheers Frank. ;D
Thanks for the update!
I love the small stones here. Cool stuff!
Thank you Frank. When I received the e-mail, already a new desert project scene popped into my brain ...looking forward to using the update soon.
Frank - sorry to bug you about this over here. I haven't gotten email - link for this yet. I've sent two notes via the NWDAnet webmaster and clicked on the "send to me also" button, but did not get that email either. I use Firefox and don't know if that might be an issue - could you please check for me, using the V2 would be awesome.
Best regards,
Piet
