Thanks, Oshyan. I will now. I have to admit that I'd have never thought to search for "fumarole." Not a word I use every day!

It's great to see this kind of scene done in Terragen. The path tracer makes the results look a lot better, of course, but I knew it was always capable of it to a reasonable degree. This example now with PT is very good already, especially given the low relative detail of the model thus far (of course the "modernism" look is helpful for that, heh).

Looking forward to seeing how this evolves and what else you're experimenting with.

Terragen Discussion / Steam locomotive trailing smoke

« Last post by sboerner on April 20, 2019, 09:21:04 PM »

Any ideas on the best way to make locomotive and steamboat smoke? I've read through some older threads here about metaclouds, and think that might be the solution. But I haven't seen much discussion about them lately and wonder if the idea has fallen by the wayside or has been superseded by other techniques. Are there other ways to do this?

Fantastically well-executed as usual! Even your human character looked really good. I am honestly a bit less into the centaur (the skin shading on the African woman seemed better?), but the story piece there is great. Overall excellent, as we have come to expect!

Oh and in regards to the large YouTube window/preview, well, that is the default setting of the plugin. I have just changed it to be smaller and I think it is more aesthetic on larger screens.

You can't generally view DEM data in any standard image viewer, even if it's a seemingly standard format like TIFF.

It is unclear what your issue in Terragen is. If your DEM file gets properly loaded with "Heightfield (Load DEM)" then the name of the *shader* should change to the name of the file that is loaded. Thus I suspect you are not loading it correctly or it is failing for some other reason. The DEM is not loaded, that is why it is flat.

Thanks, Bobby. About that expression: He can't help it, it's just his resting bridge face.

Terragen Discussion / Re: Remote Classes Possibilities

I third this! I'm on a public wi-fi system at a nursing facility, which means seriously curtailed bandwidth and some constraints, but it would be cool to audit, listen along when I could. You'll have a bit of an editing job, though, making a suite of tutorials out of live classes -- although I bet they would be quite informative.

Beautiful scenes, and nice Blender modelling, too!

Thank you much!
