Title: create simple terrain's -need help
Post by: prasad5787 on December 16, 2009, 08:25:03 AM
Hi all,

I am trying to make a simple terrain scenes, but failed to do every time for what I was looking for. I saw some tutorials but they were a bit advanced for what I need right now. All I need is to concentrate on a very basic terrain generation with different styles.

Or even how to edit the terrains that were created from power fractal or auto generated by adding a road like structure (flat surface) between the terrains.

I went through previous tutorials but didn't get the exact one on what I am just looking for. Please, help me by directing to the exact tutorial for my level if known.


(Attached some examples for what I am looking to create terrains like – please ignore other objects in the pic's like grass, stones etc, which I don't need to know right now while creating terrains)

Thanks in advance,

Prasad.

I'm not sure I understand your question. The images that you have attached have quite nice terrains to start from.
Or are these example renders no made by you, and you you are merely referring to these as examples of terrains you would like to be able to make?

Regards;
Frank

I echo Frank's question. But Maybe I have an idea.

In the fractal terrain shader the is Coastline smoothing. This flattens the terrain in between and all area below the  altitude control (defaults to 0). If you add a second fractal terrain with much less displacement, it will fill the flattened area, making it more rolling with the right settings.

Those images are shown to refer that I am looking forward to generate terrains like that.

Those are shown examples like what I am looking for.

Sorry Its my mistake to explain properly at first.

Ok, you'll get there. It takes some practice. After you have done about 20, you get a feel for how it works, and it gets easier.

Have you tried "Creating Your First Scene", in the User Guide? (link below)

Or are you looking for something more advanced?
