    This and the no fog image...I am convinced you are a professional photographer Selinita. I'm working on a model for an image from a sketch that has this same "ropy arms" feel. Love it!

    Stezza :      Building Blocks      

    _pretty good

    and  the Material on those Blocks ?? thanx 

    thanks @ed3d the block was modeled from a cube.

    the bump map was from my own resources used on the grey basalt shader and incresed to 200% in the Carrara stone shaders tab.

    Nice workflow Stezza !

    +1 yes

    Unstructured - Fall of Rome, with the collapse of worldwide civilisation "Mad Max" gangs take over fighting for diminishing resources.

    Great concept Bunyip! And I'm already digging the lighting. Nice!

    I just had to have a go at a breezeblock too...

    This image show's Carrara's displacement mapping

    This image demonstrate's Phil's Phong Modifier

    As a side; I've been reading William Vaughan's book on 'Digital Modelling' to get a better flavour for this skill I'm lacking in.

     

    Thank you Selinita for the comparisons between Carrara's displacement mapping and Philemo's plugin. Cool!

    Ooooh! Great book. William Vaughan is a genious - I love his software agnostic approach to modeling. Another book you and anyone here might be interested in is his "Pushing Points Topology Workbook". It is specifically about topology and making all quad models. Focus is on how to get out of trouble when you model yourself into a corner...of triangles, ngons and all the other horrid places you can suddenly find yourself when the goal is an all quad model.

    This just looks cool.  Not sure what you mean by using fog to differentiate elements, however.

    I can't be certain but I'm guessing it's Distance Fog, which can be found when you select 'Scene' at the top of the Instances Tab, then in the Effects Tab you'll find Atmopshere>Distance Fog. Dial in your settings from there. Screen shot is set to arbitrary settings and fog color.

    cany quite get the right shader for terrain clouds

    watching ant man atmo  is messing with my perspectives.

    ant ton neeee!! nooo

    lost where i saved the ocean foams shader from he cafe tutorial

    and theres a tank

    back it up lol
    back it up

    Ha ha - great image as usual Stezza!

    Can I ask a question about how you achieved some of the subtle blue colored shadows in the image? I have experimented in the past using custom mattes in post to drive shadow colors and values. Just wondering because Carrara's native lights (no GI / Indirect light fancy stuff)  can be greyscale drabness,  even with Intensity slider adjustments. Thanks 

    Edited to add: yes, I know we can add colored fill lights, but the color of cast shadows...

    Thanks, TP Lightdomes is what I used for that with Carrara's realistic sky, I had to tone down the blue a fair bit for that.. you can't get them anymore I don't think from the store.. I think they were extincted.

    the best lighting domes for Carrara, I use them for 99% of my renders with slight adjustments here and there. I dunno how new users can get them now frown

    Terrains as cloud generators ...

    image

    The shader needs alpha to punch some holes in it (unless it's a dark stormy cloud scape)
    Click to enlarge

    image

    SETTINGS:

    • Colour - something predominantly grey (add a splash of colour for fun!)
    • Alpha - Cellular: Fractal, very large scale (use transform of [overall] 128 as a starter and set lower limit to punch holes in it
    • Bump - Cellular: Fractal, normal scale for added interest
    • Glow - Be subtle to make them stand out

    looks good!

    What you need are 360 panoramic images which can but need not be HDRi as well

    what DAZ sells as HDRi are Panoramic 360 HDRi, a bit of a misnomer 

    HDRi simply stands for High dynamic range image and can be any lens type, my iPad does them too, it takes two photos at different exposures and combines them to get an inhanced image but it is Not a 360 panorama

    More Freebies!

    Great additions by all.  Will have to comment later.  Have just enough time to post some freebies.

    Meanwhile, in honor of our host, DesertDude, here are some building blocks for our structures.  Build something spectacular.

    These are great examples of over-modeling.  Could easily assemble some cube and cylinder primitives, but the underneath?

    In any case, here are some awesome structural pieces, because everything is awesome!

    See attached zip file.

    Everything is awesome.

    what structure to do next?

    i'm blanking on deconstructing no lightbulb dingsenlightened

    watched the antman movies
    but thinking the quantum realm would be like a biodome 
    no structures there just slug like critters lookin hungry
