Re: RE: Google Earth Pro 3D data or similar? edit - Terrain Generators Q?

[kla...@bluewin.ch]

Hi Morten

I recently got back into Terragen.
The render quality is very nice, node based, and seems to handle a lot of 
formats quite well.
The Pro Version with Animation module comes with 5 Rendernodes.
Pricing for Pre-Order V3 with maintanence (which includes free update to V4 
when it comes out) is $700 / 680 Euro.
At www.terragen4.com you can see some examples of what is to come.
Can`t give you real production value advice but planetside.co.uk is going to 
release version 4 by the end of June as they say.
If you go to their forum you could get in touch with the developers easily. 
They are around quite frequently over their.
Together with World Machine it makes a very good combo.

If you already made up your mind, nevermind ;)
cheers, Klaus

RE: Google Earth Pro 3D data or similar? edit -> Terrain Generators Q?

[Morten Bartholdy]

Thanks again for all the good advice. World Machine and GeoGlyph it is then - 
GeoGlyph looks awesome.

And I hear you Jordi regarding huge datasets and all that - I have been 
creating terrain stuff manually adding some Mudbox here and there up until now, 
but we would like to take things up a step or two and by the looks of it, WM 
and GeoGlyph will save me a ton of time even when I just need a quick terrain 
done :)

Do you have any photos from the XSI tattoo give away? That must've been

Re: Google Earth Pro 3D data or similar? edit -> Terrain Generators Q?

[Jordi Bares]

I am afraid it is very ad-hoc altogether, a combination of World Machine, Vue, 
Zbrush and some clever tricks is simply critical if you want to do 
sophisticated terrains and there is close to no literature on the subject.

I did a job recently with 6km by 6km Swiss range of mountains (pretty amazing) 
and resolution to 1m that we did some extra resampling to go down every further 
and the datasets are so huge it is scary.

Looked great, happy with the results, the process without the help of an expert 
would have been a total nightmare so it is on my to-do list of course but 
believe me when I say you are going to spend a ton of time finding out things, 
from formats to workflows…

OK Thanks Jentzen,
I'll take a look. So far haven't got far with this but keen to develop some
basic understanding of the process.

i really like world machine, and it's definitely worth springing for the
geoglyph plugins... you can make really amazing terrain, it behaves like
ice, and what you get out is as many hi res maps as you can deal with, so no
compatibility issues...

Q?

Apologies for the email mishaps - here is a proper one.

Along slightly different lines but related, what do you guys prefer to
create realistic looking landscape geometry? I am looking at World Machine
and Terragen atm, dismissing Vue for now as the connectivity tools really
suck.

Any suggestions on strengths and weaknesses or good alternatives?

Re: Google Earth Pro 3D data or similar?

[Morten Bartholdy]

Thanks all for the various good advice. DEM Earth looks really smooth - It 
might be a good reason to venture into C4D. 

Along slightly different lines but related, what do you guys prefer to create 
realistic looking landscape geometry? I am looking at World Machine and 
Terragen atm, dismissing Vue for now as the connectivity tools really suck.

Any suggestions on strengths and weaknesses or good alternatives?

Re: Ice particles' direction and local animation space

[paul]

I don't think point-location is what you need at the bottom left because 
that location is referenced to the point cloud.
You need to get closest location on the static object and reinterpret it to 
the moving one.

However, I am not sure why its the top half of the tree that's Red and 
erroring though.

Thanks. Interesting video. I have managed to handle the "Reinterpret
location to new geometry" node , in order to stick a non-skinned
character to a rigged character. But now I need to have particles
running along the arm. So I'm trying to re-build a particle Ice Tree on
top of the geometry Ice Tree, but it does not work... In the attached
file : I'm getting errors. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
David
