    Good.. I am all about me some skiing, even though I don't get to go very often. I will hit the cafe as long as it has Rum(dark) and Cider.

    That peak is amazing and I couldn't tell it from a real one.

    The foreground drainage seems off a bit with a slight perlin pattern showing that I might be imagining.

    Cheers Robes, gonna give it a go today. I'm thinking it should be inserted as a heightfield to surface shader....That looks pretty nice- yehhhh!

    Meleeguy, this is really just a test- well I'm very much a learner with this software. There's a zillion things I'd like to do to this image...there are so many things!


    hey Seer, are you around? I need some help on connecting up a greyscale imagemask to define rivers. I tried connecting it to a water shader but I can't see a thing....

    not sure if this correct yet but I've got some height on the flow now- but I had to use a terrain function to add height- the glaciers looked like they were painted on otherwise. This is with 60 ft of it.
    The best way to tell would be to render an area where the rock is poking through.

    Thanks mmmmpig!

    I've tried to put in glaciers manually in PS, but it's a problemmatic process as the snow is procedural here- as opposed to an image amp which would make it easier. So, the glaciers don't quite connect correctly with the snow flow.
    Going in the right direction tho.

    Monks, do you want me to generate some glacier maps from the mountain ?

    Yeh, let's give it a try- I bet the erosion would completely alter the mountain but... so what? The only concern is that it takes too much off the height, so maybe respan the terrain to the pre-glacial heights if you know what I mean.
    I can upload the terrain to the ME-DEM ftp...I'll do that later.
