Description

After years of trying to intuit how to get my displacements in the terrain to go high, not low... argh.. I would gladly take a hint. lol The terrain has three parts, the wee spikes should be on the high part of the hills, not in the water... they always end up in the water.... tia, Firesong

You could use your basic large terrain shape to get the smaller terrain features to go higher. In theory, if you send your larger terrain to be blended in some way with the smaller features but alter it before it gets there so the lower parts are lower. Then when you blend that again with the original larger terrain by say maximum, the smaller features will only poke out up high. I intend trying things like this because I want to use more terrain rather than material displacements. There may be other ways.

Displacement is added after the terrain geometry has been determined, so the easiest way is to just use altitude, perhaps with some added offset. If you want to add terrain-features (geometry) to the highest parts of your terrain, you can use a Multiply node. It's too complicated to go into here...

Altitude is key to your needs as WP mentions above. Nice Image :)

I have a function graph that puts terrain features wherever you want them by altitude....I got it from Infidel and wirepaladin has it too I think, as I passed it on to him....I could email you the jpg of it,if you like. Or possibly post it in the forum,as it was some years ago and Infidel might not mind as he seems to have been absent from the mjw galleries for some time. I'll have a look around for it on my HD : )) Gorgeous image btw
