I dont have any, If he were near by I would talk to him about maybe buying my laptop for very cheap.
Its not a bad machine.
NVIDIA 8700 GT with 512 ram, DUO core T5550 1.85 GHrz. It does very well with terragen, incendia, auto desk.
But, well thats about the best I could offer him.
I know he is in need of cash.

Thank you Tony.
Oddly it started out as a cover image as a ruse for some downloads.
The cover image I thought was so bad no one would give it 2 flips of a pancake.
I guess I was wrong.
How have your been? Last I heard things were a bit tense.

The terrain and surface map are perfect, do not change anything at all - ever.

The atmosphere, while one of my favorites, just doesn't fit here. Honestly I would love to see a stock photo of a sky thrown in there, because I don't think any terragen 0.9 atmosphere could do justice to that very realistic terrain.

Sgtgrandpa In reply to Echo-Velocity [2008-08-06 16:49:21 +0000 UTC]

Hey thanks!
Yeah, the atmos is weak. I did that because it suppose to be my part of a colab.
Since my atmos always get destroyed in these things I just work on surf mapping and correct lighting.
I guess I did it right this time. Seems alot are saying what you are.
If you wish to have a go with your idea go ahead. If you do we could call it a colab.

Echo-Velocity In reply to Sgtgrandpa [2008-08-06 20:11:40 +0000 UTC]

It is a bit hard to throw in a photo when the scene is built around shadows, etc. The best way to do it is to just use a blue sky and then add in the clouds later. There are ways of doing a nicer atmosphere, but that is just the easiest way I know of.

I think you did the right thing for the collab though, hopefully the postwork colors match the current atmosphere.

Sgtgrandpa In reply to Echo-Velocity [2008-08-22 03:41:36 +0000 UTC]

I like your idea of blue shy for render, then clouds.
When I get some stuff installed I will try that.

Echo-Velocity In reply to Sgtgrandpa [2008-08-22 21:25:44 +0000 UTC]

There might be a tutorial about it somewhere, but that's how I figured it out. Granted, I haven't done a great job with it, but it works in most cases.

Sgtgrandpa In reply to Echo-Velocity [2008-08-29 14:49:23 +0000 UTC]

There is but I forgot who has it. Probably in my favs some were.
Something about rendering in blue, then with no sky and then adding layers and blending all.
Its the blending thing I always screw up.

Echo-Velocity In reply to Sgtgrandpa [2008-09-21 02:08:54 +0000 UTC]

I'm terrible with blending as well, especially for terraspace images (which I totally don't understand how to do properly).

Your attempt failed.

I dunno what you were trying to do, but whatever it is you failed.

Not even worthy of an epic fail. Just. Fail.

I can't wait to see what a failure Jesus's contribution is.

Failure %'s:

Water = 90% Fail
Terrain Map = 100% Fail
Texture = 100% Fail
Godrays = 150% Fail

Constructive critiques I encourage and enjoy as they help.

Straight rude behavior I not going to put up with.
What the hell were you thinking when you wrote this dude?
Were you drunk?
Really, you surprise me.

I am currently using your beach files. Though the motivation to use them is less now.

Phritz In reply to Sgtgrandpa [2008-07-31 01:05:19 +0000 UTC]

sorry if that offended you, I apologize - I was just being sarcastic. Plus I'd just read an article in Time about these kind of comments Of course it's awesome! I love the detail of the canyon layers, the slight transparency of the water and it's foam and the godrays, one thing I noticed though: The canyon wall in the background doesn't seem to have any "layers" - is that on purpose?

Sgtgrandpa In reply to Phritz [2008-07-31 03:52:36 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, I should have realized you were being sarcastic. I feel retard now. Sorry for flying off the handle, I guess I was tired, well, I am always tired.

So what did Time mag say were "these kind of comments?" Sound interesting.

AS for your question, there are layers, I guess the haze just hides them.

He is going to do some post work so I made the atmos dull to allow for editing.
Most likely the atmos will be removed in part at least. I just concentrated on the surface lighting.
Good eye as usual.
