Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask, how to make such a mountain. After numerous attempts I still can not achieve this effect, you want to be well-intentioned master of pointing. Thanks This is the Original

It might help if you told us what version of Vue you have.
And if this is the original, where did you get it?

Well depending on version indeed, but the basic start isn'n that hard.

  • Create a standard terrain with a standard single mountain.
  • Determin the top/center of your mountain and lower all the sides so you get steep cliffs.
  • Set the altitude fixed for the center plateu and create the middle
  • Give the created terrain a nice material and a rough bumpmap

Now fiddle around a little, and you should get some nice results.

This one i did in 5 minutes, so it's just a rough try, but you should be able to get some better one if you put some time in it.

Good luck and show the result!

Always remember: you do not have to use ONE terrian to build anything, you may, and should at times, use many ;)

for example, scree slope against an escarpment is best, IMHO t times done with 2 terrians.
nowadays because of Vue8's sculpting and material painting though you cna use jsut one and make a betetr job than with 2 because of nice blending
even then sometimes you cna have terrains poke through each other :)

Sometimes when I'm trying to make rocky structures like cliffs/rocky outcrops I'll use a pile of  rocks rather than a terrain(s). I've always felt that in some circumstamces this gives you much better control over what you get out. Normally I do this for strucrtures that will be closer to the camera, but when I first saw the image you posted, I thought of it as a pile of rocks  - that'd also give you the overhangs that seem to exist at the bottom of some chunks of the mountain.

Indeed, this mountain gives the first impression is made with chunks of rubble to build. . . . . I think the borrowing function can solve this problem, but not a very simple structure

Thank you for the enthusiastic help! ! ! Because I'm not English so it's only through translation software, the inconvenience
 caused to you, I am sorry

 

Oh, right, and I use the VUE8

After all my attempts to have a new breakthrough, this is a basic function, the node map.

ly8687,

You shall not be disheartened only because you see stunning and gorgeous Vue scenes from some of the big movie studious. There are no way for anyone to decide if it is all done in Vue or not. Most likely these mountains are exported from Vue into a powerful 3D modeller such as Maya or 3ds max. There are powerful deforming tools and magnets making it a no-brainer to model your cliff as you want it. Also you can make a normal map to give the illusion of detail. Then you can import it back in Vue again -a more lowpoly version making everything 10 times easier.

In other words, It is not your fault!


thundering1 ( ) posted Mon, 01 February 2010 at 9:10 AM

Vintorix is right - very often it is a mix of different applications for the final image.

Example: rock formations started in Maya (basic shape), imported into ZBrush or Mudbox for detailing and texturing and Normal Map Creation, brought back into Maya for model integration, sunlight and camera setup and keyframing, then brought into Vue with camera and models to render out custom made trees with an Alpha because Vue can handle the HUGE polygon count with vegetation and atmosphere, then brought BACK into Maya for rendering out the portions with the models, then all comped together.

Because the trees were rendered with an Alpha, the compositor can put them together perfectly with the render out of the rocks and models in the final shot which were NOT done in Vue - get it?

This would be most likely the "Pirates of the Carribean" shot you posted.

In other words, you can come kinda close at a glance, but it's not going to be the same if done ALL in Vue. Don't be disheartened at all - just keep practicing and figure out what you can get out of Vue, and start learning other software as well.

Hope this helps-

-Lew
