Does the Power fractal (grass bump) that is marked in the below pic have a mistake in the tutorial ??
"Apply high colour" is checked ... I think that is a mistake here
?
I have gone through the tutorial very carefully.... and there was no colour indicated referring to this....
In the original text of the tutorial is said:
Now, ensuring you have Surface layer (grass) node highlighted in the node list (click on it just to
make sure) click on Add Child Layer and select Surface Layer. The new Child Surface layer
should be visible in the node list (if it isn't, click on the plus sign to the left of its parent Surface
layer). Ok, assuming your on the new child surface layer, rename it "Surface layer (grass mix)" On
its Coverage and breakup tab down the bottom enter the following values 0.5 for Coverage, and
with Fractal breakup checked, 0.5 for the breakup. Create a new Power fractal in its Colour function
slot (you should know how to do that now via Colour Shader). Go to that new power fractal's popup
window, and on its Colour tab check both Apply High and Low colours, and via the colour
picker enter light and dark grass colours (this time you could give them more of a reddish-green
tint). Enter values of 0.25 for both Colour contrast and offset, and 7.5 for roughness. And close the
pop-up window.
Now click the Displacement tab of the Grass mix surface layer, and clicking the
green cross of the Displacement function Assign shader > Power fractal (grass bump). Enter a
value of 1.7 in the Displacement multiplier.Maybe we should do a quick crop render so we can have a look at our grass. On the Quick Render
parameters section click the Crop Region tab and check the Do crop region checkbox. Then in the
3d Preview window pull the top guide down so only the bottom third of the scene renders. Now that
we have reduced the area to be rendered we can afford to increase the image size and detail quality.
(if you have an older release of Terragen you may not have the guides in the 3d Preview window,
and you'll have to use the slide controls in the Crop parameters section).
Below is the crop render I did to view the nearby grass texture......
Pls have a look at the photo !!
