Explorers Monument renderings

[Lalla]

Tried to make something real with Arizona dems.

Last three images.

Explorers monuments 2 is very interesting - good Pov - work on surfaces is necessary!

How?

This is pretty good, but I'd recommend (like Phylloxera mentioned) to work on the surfaces.  By using displacements and even possibly creating strata, you could make the terrain more interesting.  Another thing you could is jazz up the color a little with some shaders to blend in with your colors you have.

Nice beginning overall.

It's not TG2 but TG 0.9.43 !!

It's possible! Examples of images made with one year of practice!

If you want packs surfaces you can find at the following address under the name "Pack surfaces" files. Srf (TG1). You will find about 300 in what you will better understand the process of contruction of layers.

If you want to do strata you have a tutorial done well at this address : http://www.christianfly.com/friends/peten/TutorielStratas2/stratas2.html

Thank you all for help...

Made with following your tricks.

Good start. The last image is more interesting but I offer this advice.

The more layers you use in your surfaces the better things will turn out, (at least to some degree). Someone told me once to think of it this way. There is bedrock over which more recent layers of rock appear then sand or dirt (of which there may be several different "types") then vegetation. So the trick is to build your layers litterally from the ground up, adding complexity as you go.

You do have a good start here so you are well on your way. The biggest thing that sticks out to me is the prominence and thickness of the strata. If you can find it anymore get hold of the program "Stratagen" it lets you build gradients that you can apply as image maps yielding a much more realistic appearance.

This is made with a strata made with stratagen 2.

Blended more.

[Mohawk20]

Try smaller strata bands, and less sharp variation in the colours.
Another goot trick is to put another surfacelayer over this one, to blend it more.

[Lalla]

It's right?

[NWsenior07]

Much improved! Keep adding more layers to this and you'll see even better results.
