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

Terrific artwork! I'm still amazed what convincing results can be achieved with the new procedual terrain functionality. Please do some more like this one! :)
