Very WIP. Just 3 terrains and the ground plane. But think big, really big scale. Thought of having a couple dragons (or more) flying into/out of the spiral there, maybe as if that is where they nest. I'll add in a better ground at the bottom, a coupl extra terrains to break up the dark ground part, fog/clouds, very few trees/brush, snow swirls, and of course dragons. And, yeah this is a Photoshop twirl (middle one). AgentSmith

That's trippy!

Better view, different texture, slightly different terrain map...but you get the idea, lol. AS

Basic. AS

AWESOME!~!!!! the top image is a bit too white at the top to see all the detail, but it still looks great! I can definitely see some fantasy/surreal type stuff here!

very cool, I like that texture on the last swirl...

The last one reminds me of a toy with a metal ball. Basically it was a plastic bubble with that shape molded in the bottom. The idea was to try and get the ball to stay in the cup at the top. Heheh... Why do I remember things like that?

Yes, lots of spirals and dragons, other terrains etc. Much potential! - TJ

Yeah, I wanted the top of the terrain/pic to go blind white, but not to that degree (so far down), I'll have to tone down the material. Oh, forgot to mention how to do this shape...you get this basic shape by twirling a gradient is all. Used a twirl setting of 375 in Photoshop, and the Terrain was sized at x=80, y=67, z=80. AS

For those of you without Photoshop. I suggest clicking the smooth button 2-4 times, make it solid, resize the terrain to the settings above, etc. Have fun. AgentSmith

Q: Hurricane satallite weather pics.......just a thought....
