Title: Prairie - with added dust devil (12th post)
Post by: Hannes on March 09, 2010, 03:07:58 AM
It's hot, dry and boring!
A few fake stones shaders, some of lightning's lush grass and Aymenk2003's zoulik shrubs.
Before anyone asks, here's a high res version:

It is not easy to post in such topics where you can only say : Great , nice , very good , wow  or such   :)

I searched for a coyote but couldn't find. LOL!

Darn nice verity in the terrain.

Sometimes you guys can pull-off a photo real render and this is one of them.

I added some dust just for fun. This is the original POV. I cropped the first image. What do you think?

Now this me some ideas for the one I'm working on. The dust adds just the right touch for a dry prairie on a windy day - I like what you've done here.

Fantastic render, Hannes! Great color scheme, and detail. What more can I say. I also like the dust devil. Consider a whirly one... like a smal tornado of dust.

The dust is a nice touch however, dust devils are more like mini tornados, at least is west Texas.

I have noticed that smoke and dust simulation in 3D still kinda looks fake in games and movies. I think developers are getting close but, still have a way to go. The dust in your image still looks pretty good.

Thanks! I know it should look twirled, but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

Thinking aloud, and having tried it: what if you project three images (with some swirl) to a central point and locate your cloud there, blended by these merged projections, of course.... you'd have to think 3D and make up the masks accordingly.
