    @Flipmode, my only experience with the Easy Environments was with "Easy Environments Greenlands", which was a 2013 product.  Have there been a lot of changes with them since that time, or is it basically the same usage, different backgrounds?

    @3dOutlaw, 2013? Gee, I didn`t realize I am doing those sets since 8 years. ;)

    Well, the core idea is still the same, combining a chunk of ground geometry (for figures to stand on) with suitable backgrounds.

    Back then the background was a "Skybox", nowadays it´s a "Skysphere" and HDRI.
    Back then the sets supported 3Delight and Poser, now it´s 3Delight and Iray.
    And of course there have been some convenience changes (e.g. 3Delight Lighting is grouped to the Skysphere now) and changes in how I create the content.

    Greenlands was the very first product of the series, at the time I was happy I had found a way to deliver such open landscape sets at all.
    I hope they improved since then. ;)

    Noticed a sudden influx of ExoPlanet sales there, I sense a connection lol ;)

    Hi guys!
    Exoplanet VII is around the corner, releasing pretty soon. :)

    The set has a daylight version with big planets and a sunset version with smaller planets on the horizon.
    3Delight users need to own the UberSurface2 Layered Shader for the Snow&Ice mix like you see it on the previews.
    I included pure snow versions, which don`t require the shader, as fallback though.

    Excellent.

    Thanks everyone, glad to read you like it and may have use for the setting. :)

    I can use that if the fence can be hidden.

    Funny, I put that in the product description, just in case someone would need it. ;)
    So yes, you can hide or remove the fences and the power poles.

    Out of curiosity, if you don`t mind me asking, why do you need that option though?

    I don't know about the OP, but I would hide the fence because it is too close to the road for my area - setbacks are a minimum of 40 meters from a highway :-)

    Thanks Misselthwaite, always good to learn a bit about what is important to users. In this case realism. ;)
    Not everyone seems to adhere to that 40 meters law though, going by my reference images. wink
    That said, I basicly just added the fences to have some visual details and another "spot of interest" where characters could lean or sit.

    A fence is never a bad thing to have (though around here, they are usually more barbed wire, not straight wood).  I wasn't thinking so much about realism - it just looked odd to me, and I had to stop and parse out why :-)  Still, that is part of why you are awsome - you don't weld your fences to the ground ;-)

    Are there any standalone mesas?

    I am super good at not doing stuff wink

    Hi Willow! You mean as geometry in the scene?
    No, the geometry is the road and a stretch of sand left and right, the mountains are part of the skysphere/hdri.
    What is it you are looking for?

  • FSMCDesignsFSMCDesigns Posts: 12,756

    Nice to know the fences can be hidden. Here in Texas, you mostly see barbwire fences aong the highway (and cattle), not fences like this. Looking forward to it!

    I've often needed the ability to include physical Mesas to land spaceships on or build temples on, or cities, etc. I've had to resort to using an OLD BRYCE SET and exporting them as obj's then halfway retexturing them. A good-looking 3DL and iray set of movable mesas that could be plunked into any scene would be a HUGE help.

    Haha, I am starting to feel very lucky about the fences being hideable! ;)
    Ye, I think most reference images showed barbwire fences, but I found them quite unattractive. ;)
