Description
This is a slight variation of my previous work. It looks none too realistic, this I know. More, this is a demonstration of TG2’s immense capability of terrain generation and the amount of detail its renderer can produce. Again, I did not use the strata / outcrop shader, but functions only. Also, the horizontal outcrops are a result of my applying the warp shader in lieu of redirect.
I’ll let it be known that I did not develop any of the function node set-ups, but that I borrowed them from the File Sharing section of the Planetside Forum. All I did was to apply them and adjust the settings. My deep thanks go to each one who contributes his or her work. I am learning much from them.
On a personal note: I know that there are those who will be perfectly content using TG2 as solely as a platform for object placement. Many are really good at it, too. But for me it would be a waste of sorts. I will always use TG2 as a terrain generator first. That is its most powerful function, and I intend to exploit it both to its limits and to the best of my abilities.
Thanks for looking in!

Yeah, that's a big ugly one, but a good one demonstrating your rapid progress!

The details from base to apex are pleasing. I would expect you'll be using these elements for future scenes. In all, it is good to see your experimentation.

Looks like an enormous petrified whoopsie; ah but the beauty is in the detail. Your enjoying yourself far too much. Excellent work.

Wow, that's different (but very cool....)

That it is, but it's cool and fascinating, too. I've not had a go at functions- I'm pretty intimidated. Have to learn more about them. Your sky fits the scene. Those deep wrinkles/ridges are gross and very cool. Super surface!

I love it! All those detils are great! Corrie

Superb render! And don't worry, geology makes the strangest things! - this looks so interesting I'd like to pick at it with my hammer, lol!
