I was skimming through my half finished NWDA packs and was wondering which one I'll finalize first.
Among them I found the Farmland pack and the Tornado pack.
I just quickly integrated one scene with the other and out came this beast of a tornado bringing mayhem to the farmland ;)
It's just me toying around. Move on, there is nothing to see! ;-)
Cheers,
Frank
PS: still don't know which one I'll finish first. Anyone have any preferences?
let the beast free!
;D
I love the tiny wee farmhouse!

ah! Glad somebody noticed it :)
i think i see the Wicked Witch of the East in there... :) :D
Woah, look at this variation:
... guess I'll play with that some more.
much much better lighting Frank !!!
Cute farmland :-).
yes, i like the lighting and atmosphere better in that last one.
GET TO THE CELLAR!!! :D
The second one is very dramatic! The only thing I can think to add would be a trail of destruction in the wake of the tornado, nice work!
The second image is much better. I had a thought while going to pay the rent. The farmlands look good. They need some roads and access lanes. Also, here in the USA anyway, farm fields tend to have straight, squarish borders. This is for two reasons, land purchases, and effective equipment usage. The large tractors and harvesters do not work well in small fields. They do not turn very sharply either.
Thank you for reading my farming lesson of the day. :-X
The Beast up close .... a bit noisy though.
woah! very good!
just need some more "stormy" skies above and around it; search for some supercell images, they will give you a lot of ideas about the clouds that normally surrounds a tornado.
keep up the (very) good work!
Thanks!
I know supercells, but not all hoses come with a supercell.
I've tried to make one once, but frankly I could not mimic the light scattering needed for it.
Attached a b&w version.
Beautiful B&W, Frank!
Yeah, there are indeed some non-supercell tornadoes (landspouts).
In fact, matching supercell lighting and shaping conditions in TG should be an really hard work, but a cumulonimbus base with just some few rotation features may not be that impossible...?
Aside from that, excellent work you are developing here; the tornado shape and texture is near to realistic!
Cheers!
I think your closeup is really quite close to how a real tornado looks. Absolutely fine work.
P.S. The other reply was geared more towards the fields, when you are ready to offer this as a shader pack.
The third image is nice , but the farmhouse don't hold up in closeup and degrades unfortunately the other parts.
I like the second one the most. Especially the land has kind of a cuteness-whatever that means :)
It is not quite realistic -and don't have to- but is very nice looking , Frank !
Hi Frank. Have you been considering making this field node into a procedural pack? It would work better and be easier to use than making image maps.
