How do you make a single procedural terrain cover the whole space, like in this pic? Is it as simple as upping the size & stretching & pulling or is there an other way I haven't seen yet? TIA By the way, this pic is fantastic :)

Hello
I have used vue from 1.3 adn if i remember right,you can just make the ground and the terrain one object then the material covers the whole thing and looks one if i remember right that is hahaha
hope it helps
essexboy If you look at image then the grouped takes the mat as all the sam and the outher 2 are not grouped so just clcik the ground and then the mountain and group them then apply the one mat and all is well

Thank Essex Boy....By the description in that pic, I assumed that procedurals where something different. Hmmmmm. When he said 1 object I assumed 1 single terrain.

Procedural Terrains are different- they have "infinite" detail. Unlike Vue 4 terrains, the Vue 5 procedurals allow you to place a camera down near the surface and show lots of rock, dirt or water details. --Maybe someone else has a better explaination...

But how do make it cover the infinite plane as shown in the pic above??? Maybe I'll IM CzarnyRobert.

Ah i c well very sorry for misleading you then regards essex

Essex..that's still a fantastic idea...that had never crossed my wee brain before.... so no need to be sorry. I learn something almost everyday :)

Does it really cover the whole infinite plane? I don't think so. It simply is an upscaled procedural terrain with textures and very very carefully and well created. So that it looks as it looks. Indeed, an excellent image . But dlk... try it simply out and. Create a terrain, make it procedural, scale it up and render it.

One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

Agree with wabe. Also make ground hidden! Try with short focus too. May be, few move down the hdri image.

Thanks guys...I'll give it a whirl. I tried it a while back & stretched & pulled & it didn't look all that great....but I will continue playing with. That terrain is just beyond words IMHO...just stunning. It's good to know Vue is capable of this in the right hand LOL...I just need to mine right as well :)

A few weeks back I had posted some renders of Hellborn's ocean waves- (which I don't have handy at the moment)- but I stretched his Procedural wave set, which was just a small chunk- and made it cover an approximate 50 square miles of open ocean... The end result was a giantic ocean of waves all the way to an endless horizon- all made from a small Procedural wave chunk- so that's what you can do with a Procedural Terrain- expand it endlessly (in theory anyway). Of course, it doesn't need to be "endless"- it only needs to cover the camera's field of view...
