procedural craters

[russe166]

Hi !

I try to make procedural craters out of Voronoi noise. It is the first render and the craters are not masking each other because it saves 50 percent rendering time in my case.

Second render with twice as many craters but I do not like the result. It does not look like a crater moon to me, so I have to get into the caterfunktion again.

Good start!
looks like raindrops in mud to me, which is not so far from craters after all!

I had the same idea...
1st one looks more close than 2nd imho.

It does 

But here is the new render ...

[archonforest]

Wow, big improvement...more and more moon looking stuff

[yossam]

Great improvement............now just come up with some subtle impact debris and I think you got it.

Hi!

Thanks for the comments.  I have doubled the number of craters ...

A + B = C

Hi!

No color yet on the landscape but it's getting better ...

[archonforest]

Yep. U are on the right lane...

[Mahnmut]

Wow, thats an improvement indeed.
Now add a little bit of "normal" powerfractal landscapeand a flag and I´ll believe you faked the moonlanding!
Cheers,

Hi!

Could not get the flag but the Apollo Lunar Module 

What do you think is the right amount and height for the craters ?

The final image from the procedural craters. Let's see how they will work together with the real moon data from NASA.

That's looking very good. Curious to see the combi.
