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… jb > On 18 May 2016, at 10:58, adrian wyer <adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com> wrote: > > 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... > > a > > -----Original Message----- > From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com > [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Morten > Bartholdy > Sent: 18 May 2016 10:51 > To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com > Subject: Re: Google Earth Pro 3D data or similar? edit -> Terrain Generators > 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?
