Description This was just a quickie because I really wanted to see what these terrains made from Geocontrol looked like! So I'm NOT happy with the surfaces...they are not as refined as I usually make them. The strata stand out too much and there's a poor transition between the strata and the "sand"...but, meh...I just LOVE the terrains I get from this AWESOME terrain generator!!! Here is a linky to it: [link] I'm thinking I'm going to definitely register this one too. I highly recommend it folks!

Terragen render.
Rendersize: 6000x4500
Rendertime: 6 hrs
Terrain: 2049x2049 Geocontrol 1.00

Enjoy,

Mike

That's really cool... Would like to know how you got the colour to run across the canyon like that. It looks like a gradient to me, but I'm not sure.

Thank you!

Oh, you mean the strata? You have to use the Strata Overlay function in SOPack.

Awesome terrain indeed! And the surface does look a lot like the area on the Arizona-Utah border.

Well, I'm not going to give many comments about the world file since it was just a quickie.
The terrain seems nice with lots of detail to it, but it looks very blocky. . .I think a vertical view would look very square and not so natural. The terracing in general looks very nice, but the vertical parts I think are too straight and too constant.
I don't know whether it's the program, but hopefully that stuff can be easily sorted out.
Good luck with your next explorations of this program. It does look great to me so far from what I've seen.
Sadly, I have to just sit and twiddle my thumbs until a mac version comes out. Could be a LOT of twiddling

environaut In reply to sanosoke [2006-05-16 16:00:26 +0000 UTC]

Hmm...those are definitely some good points about the terrain. I'll have to look into ways to make it look more realistic. I have just started with this proggy...so we'll see what I can do soon! Hopefully a mac version is made soon.

Flamegfx [2006-04-28 15:36:56 +0000 UTC]

the geocontrol is really a awsome terrain generator!
i think that the atmo doesnt fix very well.. but the terrain and surface are so beautiful and warm!

I think that the strata needs more blending, but I love the terrain

environaut In reply to Destructionist [2006-04-28 04:12:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it definitely needs more blending...I just didn't feel like it. Yeah, a layer or two on top of it would be good...as well as being better blended with the sand. I think this program is much better at canyons than World Machine or any other I've seen so far.
