Road

[Dune]

Some new experiments, but not perfected yet.

[Hannes]

Looks great, but I think these roads are way too curvy. I don't know if there's a way to flatten the terrain a bit where the road is going to be?!
Also the road texture is a bit too dark. It looks as if the road has been made minutes ago. Otherwise very good. I like the snow very much.

I like version 3 the best with its lighting. As always, I know you will be tweaking; and, looking forward to your results.

[TheBadger]

Love the snow!

[Dune]

Indeed I will be tweaking. These are just tests to get the road carved out of hillsides (but better than I had before). Just yesterday found a solution to something else again. Will be continued...

[choronr]

This latest has the best view and light so far.

This is highly challenging because if you want to go for realism you will have to build in some procedural (stone) foundations and walls for stabilization on steep hillsides like this. Otherwise the road would just wash away, eventually and be prone to rockfall. Knowing that you already mastered that procedural wall, it should well be in the realm of possibility

[Dune]

Now that's an interesting idea, Otakar. I might try that. But first these:

the green one is beautiful, Ulco! :-)

interesting the last image.

The wall was a piece of cake, but there's something else I have to solve..... the road is in fact too narrow, and I can't 'just' widen it or other things go wrong. I'll find it.....

[choronr]

I like this one and the one before it. One thing; maybe vary the color shade of the dry bushes (some lighter, some darker)?

[choronr]

Regarding the road width, take out the center divider lines and make it a 'One Way' road.

[RedSquare]

the road is in fact too narrow,

Oh no it's not too narrow, in fact it's quite wide.  I mean there are two lanes for goodness sake, the majority of our roads excluding the major roads and motorways are either single lane or like the one in your latest render.

That's an average width road over here. 

Great result. Love it.

[Dune]

It's narrow in the sense that if I measure it, it's only 3-4 meters wide in total. It should be 6-8m. So it's inconsistent with the vegetation, if I don't take care. I had to half the size of the roadside sign. From a purist's POV the road should be the right size. Of course I can make it a gravel mountain road, or a railway, but that is not my goal.

I know there should be more variety in shrub and trees (colors), these are only 2 shrub and 1 tree.
