Description
Inspired by the recent works of Robert Czarny who opened my eyes to the power of Vue 5 procedural terrains.
Made with Vue 5 Esprit!
1 only procedural terrain.
Texture i made from scratch for this scene with 3 types of rock and 2 types of grass.
There are no bump maps in the texture, all the details, rocks and cracks are created with procedural functions in the terrain editor. I used only 3 simple variations of the distributed circles function, 1 big for the basic shape of the land and 2 smaller variations for the details. Like a lot of people i was scared by the procedural editor, but Roberts terrains made me want to learn this system and i achieved this result after only a short time learning/playing. Now you can scale this as large or small as you want or zoom right in and the details are still there. Best of all this is only on a 256x256 terrain so the whole scene is less than 1 million polygons!
Comments appreciated.
Thanks - Jeff

Very realistic ! It is great to finally see examples of what procedural terrains can do. No doubt your picture will inspire others in the same way czarnyrobert inspired you.
