Middle Earth DEM Project

Heh a cake shader eh ??? Hmmm not a lot of call for that one but you never know...

I have a render out. I made it do the full bung in the middle of the Mistys and then do some cheap bypass off that area so no snow in the north etc - just enough to tell me whether this is worth it or not. I think it is looking at it as we have Fangorn and Lorien full now and no duff region in Mirkwood. The new code makes getting the Veg right much easier than before. Veg growth before was a criminally sporadic process. There is some scope that this new veg change might help with rivers too... in that bizarre kind of way GTS works.

Anyway - is this better ?

yeh! looking great! This is a lot better in all areas. Top left is maybe not quite as richly varied- can't guage that too well from what I can see here. Great job Robes!

OK dem called RENDER is going up into the dems folder of the CartoGuildComp (phase2 dir).
It's a hfz and opens fine in L3DT and GM yipeeeee!!!! We have a nice suite of apps now to work with

nipping out... oh yeh btw there's a bit of a horrid line around the Misty quad (that didn't show up in WM probably because it is works differently with rendering things)- I think a bit of blurring/brushwork is in order. Hopefully the erosion will help too.

Rauros hills are not done- needs work- flat. Also the beach in the south is still very flat. These jobs can be done tomorrow as last minute things depending on when you start your run.

some screenies to follow later...

Created an HF2 offsetter which allows me to resample the height map you provided and reposition it into a another one so it can be rescaled to 10000 and then set into a 10240 square. That's done and running now but I need to see the results to know whether it is working or not. Its no problem for you to keep going. Its basically about 4 hrs to run from new DEM to result so we can go to the wire with changes.

Great! Today is to get some fixes in there.

Robes, is the southern coastline ok now in the latest runs? Looks like the perlins I put in over all the map may help...?
