THANK YOU!

If you remember to check "include textures" and have all of your .vob content installed on both machines it should be no problem.

I'm sure you can.  Set the render quality to "preview" and drag every quality slider you can find to -8 or so and you should pretty much get the same thing at the same speed.

#15 apparently just hit the stands (US>UK translation "arrived at the news agents") in the UK... waiting here for US subscriber copy.

Congrats!  Nice feeling, huh?

Agree about making the highlights anisotropic.  Backlighting is your friend too.

Saw it in the store at Cornucopia... came here to see what folks had to say.  Went back to Cornucopia and clicked 'buy.'

Tony--

Glad you got it working!

Quote -  Also. In my other thread, there was a very kind fellow, who posted a tutorial on sculpting clouds. In the tutorial, the author just starts with a simple sphere cloud.

How do I get this simple sphere cloud?

Thanks Chipp!  I continue to be impressed with and appreciate all you share - you've made my Vue work so much better!  Your commercial stuff rocks (esp TerraPak) and your freebies and tutorials are excellent.

(I'm also very much looking forward to purchasing anyting eonite puts out)

Off to happy downloading and cloudscaping.

You could try upping the 'smallest feature' value on the fractal that is being used to generate the procedural terrain.

Quote - I am most curious about these "strata filters"

are they in the function editor ?

could we ( ME :D ) ask for a step by step ?

It's in the function editor under Filters... Recursive...  There's a "Strata" node and a "Confined Strata" node, the latter adds upper and lower limits on the effect.

On the two images linked, I added it between the terrain fractal and the altitude output.  'Layers' features a very high "Rock Layer Hardness" while 'Peaks' usues a very low "Rock Layer Hardness" value.  Otherwise, mostly playing with the dials in those...
