Looks really impressive :)
Sounds like you're having fun! Great example images.
Love this! Great job.
Looking forward to it.... great scene, thanks! xx :) Silene
This looks very cool.
Nice work Dartanbeck
Thanks you all! Yes, I am having fun! :)
But then I had to finally go to bed. Wow. Insomnia's getting the better of me these days!
Tell me about it! The clocks go forwards here tonight, so that's another hour lost...
Yes, I can't understand why we can't at least all do it together on the same date. It means that the UK's time difference to the West Coast USA is usually eight hours, but the last few weeks has been seven hours. Don't they know that lots of people communicate internationally these days!

I don't either. It seems it all changed in 2007.

The bill amends the Uniform Time Act of 1966 by changing the start and end dates of daylight saving time, beginning in 2007. Clocks were set ahead one hour on the second Sunday of March (March 11, 2007) instead of on the first Sunday of April (April 1, 2007). Clocks were set back one hour on the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007), rather than on the last Sunday of October (October 28, 2007).
Bugger, forgot about the clocks.... have to get up an hour earlier for surgery...aw man....it'll be 6am in my head!!

Speaking of Time, have any of you ever seen the process that they've gone through to determine the agreed upon time that One Second lasts? That was no simple matter!
Isn't it just as simple as counting the vibrations of a Caesium atom...
You Brits.... Spelling color wrong, putting steering wheels on the opposite side that they should be on. Now I see that you spell Cesium differently as well. Tsk, tsk, tsk. ;-)
There, I made an example animation of the wonderful Lava Lake and put it up on my YouTube channel, if anyone's interested. Since it's just a short animation, I also added the rest of the promo shots as well:

That is what happens when you elect lawyers to make laws! :-)

If it's needlessly complicated, then it is either engineers or lawyers. In the case of daylight savings time, it is both. ;-)
Another must buy. Congratulations, Dartanbeck! Firstbastion has excellent sets that would go well with this type of scenery

Absolutely!
Although I don't have those yet, I will. I have a nice First Bastion collection growing! :)
All of his stuff works well with EnvironKits!
Just so it doesn't get lost through the pages, Here's the link to the animated Lava preview video
It's very short, so it's supplemented with Badlands promotion images, with the lava lake animation playing at the beginning and end.
I really like how the lava flows during animations - it looks great in stills! It uses both displacement in the shader as well as the Ocean primitive to gain access to the automated movements of waves. The video clip (above link) was made with a slight counter-clockwise rotation and a slight translation toward the camera over the extent of the render with a bezier tweener. Each cloud also uses a besier with rotation and translation. This sort of thing is really fun to play with.
The lava looks excellent - I left you a YouTube comment too.
Thank you Phil! I'm really glad to hear some feedback! I really like it, too!
You know, being a big Star Wars fan that I am, all while I was adding the text to the sequence in Howler, I had the "Anakin vs Obi-Wan" theme from Episode III (the music playing behind their epic duel over the lava pit) running through my head! I can really see using this Lava Lake in some Sci-Fi sets for such scenes in some animations!
We'll see if I can script some of that into play ;)
I like the animate Lava and everything else. Great set!
Thanks Ringo!
Ringo, love your skin shaders... would you ever think to create distressed skin shaders? Not wounds, but instead of pristine jungle princesses or princes who seem to run barefoot through a battle or nasty envriroment without getting dirty, could do with some realistic shaders. I would use them for stills, but some of the adventure animations I have seen... although some are bloody, they go overboard to zombie-ville. What about just a skin that is just realistically scratched, bruised and dirty (with sliders to regulate intensity) on a hero/heroine running for his/her life...she's not going to look like she just got off the catwalk having lost her Jimmy Choos that fell off her perfectly manicured and clean feet!
I do my distressing in PS wort work, but it would be more inspirational to work with them live and action-worn.. I am not talented enough to paint them in Carrara so they would look realistic enough. And am a ways away from buying Howler. Would happily pay for this. I have viewed Dirty Girl and Good as Dead in the store, but not what I am really after.
(Silene pictures Rosie being chased by a giant armadillo or a drug lord in the badlands and Dart rescues her...but she still needs a bath....him, too!)
Again, love your work and shaders!!
xx ;) Silene
ETA... Dart...get that thing in the store...I want it NOW!
I love First Bastion and have a couple of his sets. I love the Steppes! You can work with them to get all kinds of scene settings. :) Silene

pass it on to all your friends please
But just in case,
Check out bigh's HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY VIDEO
Thanks bigh! Frickin' Fun!
The Badlands EnvironKit shows up in a DAZ search but is not really there- does this mean you are near a release? Hope so as I am really looking forward to it.
Yes... tomorrow, I think.
It was really fun. My QA tester just loved all of the variety. I've never had such a huge response from the head office since Starry Sky, which was also a 'shocker' in the office, I was told.
Anyways, they had to make it available to my DIM so I could approve the packaging. It's done and headed for the store as we speak! :)
Yaaaaaay!!!
how much
how big is the download
