Nadril Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, I decided to try something. I first looked for a nice picture of mount saint hellens, to use as a reference. Opening up terragen, I than proceeded to find a POV close to what it was in the said picture. I than tried to get the surface to match it. The surface still probaly isn't done... I may have to manip some small trees into the final version, but this is just a sig, to kind of show the progress. Anyways... The reference: Result: full compressed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Still very obviously computer-generated. Sorry. You failed to capture the feel of the various cliffs or whatever in the foreground, the material you used there is far too light/brown. Also, the lack of any mist/fog/clouds whatever you want to call that really detracts. You could've put more effort into post-terregen PS work.

apinagez Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Oh the awsomeness.. :P That's more realistic than the snapshot Nadril :wink: If you could find a better texture it would make the whole thing even better tough. Still it's impressive :D ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Fog is one thing that when I looked at both of them together I thought "doh!" duh. I'll darken up the material and I'll try and find those cliffs on the terrain. Terragen has a new 3D preview mode thats nice, but i'm not sure if I will be able to find them, I hope I will. Thanks for the crit's, Hoping I can get this touched up well when I do a final version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurama Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Not very...realistic is it? Get some atmousphere in there. At the moment it just looks blantantly digital, and just looks like a mound of snowy grass. Try harder next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Ok yeah.... I think it might be time for me to be looking at a few other programs that can do landscapes untill TG2 comes. It's rendering capability's arn't as good as other softwares. Hence why I need to sharpen them all the time because they render blurry. I guess it's just starting to hit that mark that terragen may not be the software for me. If anyone could recomend a good program (I tried and didn't realy like Vue that much after a bit) than that would be great. Even better, if it can support .BMP Terrains (Basicly a hightmap of a terrain) than that would be perfect, so I can use world machine. I don't know.. I could have done better. Looking back now I see the faults I made. -The camera angle is faulty. - Bad atmosphere, no fog or anything. - Bad surface. Terragen I know requires a lot of post processing. So realy, I'm willing to try any software that you guys recomend, better if it has a trial :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c4 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Pretty good replicate, however, how old is that photgraph? Lolz Since living in Washington, and having seen it quite recently....theres a big bulge of hardened lava in the crater :P That picture must be a year or two old, if not more :roll: Keep it up Nadril :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Top looks a bit sharp but its coming along really well. Perhaps photoshop a bit of haze into the picture. Its impossible to see that much all in perfect sharp focus in real life. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Was just looking at it for a reference. Thanks guys. And I was thinking 'bout that merc, it's a bit too sharp. I'll see what I can do about it.
