Title: Smokey Crater
Post by: mr-miley on April 29, 2010, 09:44:18 AM
I haven't posted anything in ages  >:( so here goes... I was having a play with the crater shader thingy as I've never mucked around with this before. I know the rim is too pronounced at the front. I thought that the smoke came out alright though. I may have a go at adding a glowing something in the bottom of the crater... then again, maybe I wont  ;D

Yes, the smoke is very sulphurous. A glowing thing at the bottom does sound like an idea. The surfacing is good.

Add some more displacement to the rim perhaps?

At the Moment I have no sense of scale, to my eyes it looks like a rather small crater that one could cover with his foot, how was it supposed to turn out? The smoke indeed looks natural :)

Hi all. Ta for the comments. MacGyver, I agree, but I'm not too sure what too add to help with the scale. In all fairness to me, this was more a mess about with the crater shader, cause I hadn't used it before... that's my excuse, & I'm sticking to it  ;D

Anyway, here is a new version, in the dark with some lava at the bottom. It didn't have as much effect on the smoke as I thought so I may do some more to this...

looks good Miles,  what about some little guys in protective suits? (like this: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-man-protective-suit/323603 (http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-man-protective-suit/323603) but cheaper!!!)

A couple of Marc Gebhart's dead pines would help with the scale also.

Now that looks really good. Very realistic lava.
