    Because I have had some success in the Challenges, people here generally think that I know more than I actually know.

    I have large gaps in knowledge. 

    I've looked very closely at the DCG site earlier today, before posting.  The answers to my previous questions were not there.

    So, if you answer my (very specific) questions with "Look at the DCG site," I am no better off than I started. :)

    The plugins themselves seem great, based on art I have seen.  But the support materials are not that good, at least based on my experience so far.

    Sorry blush.

    I put orderly the links to instructions and tutorials in second post.

    Thanks Alberto!  That was above and beyond the call, but certainly helpful to some of us (or at least me).

    However, I noticed that the "Individual links to specific plugin instructions" did not work.  Not sure where these were supposed to go.  The DCG links worked fine.

    Sorry if I sounded cranky earlier.  Maybe I'm just getting old. :)

    Still not sure what I am going to do, but came across some vintage postcards of a frontier that I would not normally think of because I am an American.  The Library of Congress has a collection of old postcards for the Russia/China frontier.  Hope the link works.  I'll attach a couple of screencaps.

    Cool challenge! I will definitwly be experimenting. Just a warning though: time is limited for me, so I may only be able to do one image.

  • VIArtsVIArts Posts: 1,499

    I asked my 12 year old sis if she had ideas for me. She thinks i should be her. lol

     

    Hmmm...Pie on ears?

    I'd like to show an example of DCG TERRAIN TOOLS.

    This is a water plane intersecting with a terrain. No Terrain tools used.

    This one is the same with TERRAIN TOOLS. Look at the intersection water plane - terrain

    (There is a little difference in lightning between the two images too, but ignore it by now).

    I added a Terrain Layer in the terrain shader. In distribution I select Terrain Tools Intersect.

    The noise:

    This is the reference shader (a water shader: Murky Lake Water from Ringo Monfort DigitalPainters Shaders Vol II). This is precisely the shader of the water plane.

    The shaders are mixing at the intersection.

    we won't have any power tomorrow, apparently replacing some power poles in the neighbourhood so tried to get as much done on the helicopter today.

    managed to get this far today.

  • evilproducerevilproducer Posts: 9,050

    I think I will try one for the "Final Frontier."

    I've had a go with poor success sorry - you could try normal maps perhaps
