Hi, I'm still learning Vue. That's why you haven't seen any images in the gallery made by myself yet. Since I'm quite self-critical I post only if I#m satisfied with the result... Anyway. I have a texture related question. When you apply a texture to a cliff/steep slope the texture gets vertically distorted. If you want to know what I'm talking about look at "Huntiiiiiiiiing ......" by joedifresco. Sorry Joe, your image is fantastic. I don't want to run you down. It's a very nice work and I use it just as an example to show what my problem is. <:) Is there a way to get rid of this effect besides flattening the slope? Many thanks for your suggestions, Phil

Phil, Joe did not use terrains but rocks. Normally you don't have this problem with terrains as you can configurate the influence of slope easy and the texture follows.

In the above sample is a rock. In the first image it was just left as it is, in the second I've changed turbulence and rotation of the texture. I also have changed the Z-bumps to 0.3. Both images are rendered final. You can play more with it to get different or better effects.

Phil, if ever you have this kind of problm with a terrain, just post an image and tell me what material you have used and I will tell you the solution. Guitta

Guitta, many thanks for these tips. I'll give them a try as soon as I return home. If I still encounter a problem I'll let you know. =:O) Thanks, Phil

Maybe try to rescale the material in one direction : I'm not a specialist, I always do experiments step by step, and often forgot the results :) .So I hope it's possible Yves

Of course, it's possible Yves. That's what I said above. As the material of the rocks is a simple (not mixed) procedural, just resized the Z-bump:-), knowing that Z in Vue is what Y is in some other software. Guitta

Sorry to have not carefully read your post, Guitta. ;=) One problem with Vue is the difficulty to know what will be the effect of modifications we do (rescale, rotate, translation...)since ot's not cleat what is y or x or z axses for the object or even for the scene. Same problem arise for the terrain , where is the north, the right : if we dig or raise on a side of a terrain, will it be at the side I want. That's to difficult to understand , so I only work with trial and errors and lost a lot of time. Should I see on some help file one time ? :=) Yves

In Vue 2

many thanks, I will take time to sutdy that !!! I guess if I am the only person who did not understood this important feature (never took time to understand - lol-) . Maybe your explanations could be a part of a tutorial (basic of orientation in Vue : for terrains, textures,...) , who knows ? ;=) Yves
