OK... how did you do the light reflections in the water?

And what program do you need to make BMP overlays?

Armarant In reply to zebravissimo [2005-08-23 09:24:25 +0000 UTC]

lol. Okay. Reflections.

Water Settings > Reflections:
Max Reflectivity: 1-7%
Reflectivity Curve: usually 30-50

Direct Sunlight: 100% (lower if too much on spread)
Reflection Spread: usually around 20 or 30.

Use a low roughness (around 20 or so), and a wave size anywhere you want basically that you think looks nice. Also use a high visibility effect (150-175)

BMP Overlays: I use TG. If you have the SOPack, you are allowed to do BMP overlays onto a surface map. Add a child layer, puch the TEX button directly below "mimic terrain" slider. Push the + button and select SO Image Overlay. Then double-click SO Image Overlay (inside the selection box). Keep it as a total overlay. Select your terrain size, and how many times you want it tiled on your terrain. Then select the file you want to be tiled (BE SURE ITS A BMP OR TG WILL SHUT DOWN).

Then say okay. Modify as needed. And you can get the SOPack at [link] Hope this helps!

id say it is..
fantastic job on the water and on the atmosphere. gives a very nice magical feeling to the image.
however terrain and the textures in the foreground seem to stand a bit off.
apart from that one of the better tg renders i have seen so far. good work

Nice scene, clouds could be blurred a little to drop pixelization, also water looks strange, kinda like jelly lolotherwise not too bad a scene at all

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Armarant In reply to fusionx [2005-04-01 22:27:04 +0000 UTC]

cool cool, ty much! only reason i dont blur the clouds is becuase where i live the clouds do sometimes look like that..only reason..

Yes, the caustics do make it look kinda like jelly, but tis more realistic in my eyes

ty very much fer the feedback and critique! tis vury helpful

have you ever used photoshop in conjunction with terragen? It looks like you did a touch of that here. You can do some really eye-popping wonderful stuff with that technique.
I like this picture alot. the harshness of the terragen program is very subdued here. Very nice

Armarant In reply to bongoshock [2005-03-29 23:04:48 +0000 UTC]

yes i do a little photoshoping, mostly just contrast/leveling. I did blur the shore into the sand cause it was VERY sharp, other than that its untouched...im not very well versed in photoshop tools..
