Chinese whispers v2.0

[jbest]

Ok, well I'll try.

I added a strata and "something" shader to the terrain - it might be too heavy. Added clouds too, really didn't do much. Feel free to remove the strata shader if you want to.

[inkydigit]

got one cooking now, some tweaks to lighting and modifying the strata etc...post tgd shortly...
EDIT:
here ya go, minor tinkers completed feel free to delete modify at will!

[inkydigit]

ok looking at the work that has been put into this, I feel guilty for almost obliterating it...I should have taken more time and juggled with the layering of effects/fun(c)tions etc...instead I have handled it like a hot potato...mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

[Ironshirt]

Nice idea !

Well, here we go 

I've modified the small displacement of the Rock Outcrops slightly, moved the sun a little bit and put in an additional Powerfractal to blend the Strata some more - mixed it with the existing one, maybe it is too much 'blending' now. Finally I added a big and a small crater.

Feel free to modify/delete here as well!

The displacements on the crater wall look pretty cool
In overall a nice improvement anyway Ironshirt.

[inkydigit]

nice work ironshirt...a good improvement!

[Floating.Point]

Ironshirt... very nice... I want to fly over that region in a chopper... I can see this developing into an early morning shot, where the mist is parting- revealing the ancient craters...
(Im going to grab the TGD to have a go, but I thinks its best to leave this one in the hands of the masters)
Looking good!

Forget that nonsense!!  This is a fun project for anyone and everyone to have a swing at.  Add what you are comfortable adding, learn from what is there already and then pass it along!

right, just play around with it!
i'm currently adding some muddy water into that crater and doing some stuff with the illumination, but that can wait. just do it!

edit: addition to this: maybe you have an idea to add something and noone ever thought about your way doing it or even do it at all!

[domdib]

Yes, just go for it Floating.Point!

[Floating.Point]

Okay okay guys I will have a go! thanks for the supportive words ...
But I might jump on board later on down the train- as I am finishing off some pressing work this weekend & early next week.
Please don't wait for me, keep the ball rolling with this one!

Perhaps this could be a chinese whisper 5 second animation...
Once the terrain + atmo is done, someone could script a nice camera move
and then the final TGD could be distributed amongst the contributors to render x frames each...
then we could assemble it together and allow a second round of whispers for the post work?

has that been done before??

[Goms]

ok. some snow and a nice hot swimming pool
