2022 Collab: Week 2 “Desert” - CLOSED

[simgen]

My first attempt at using displacement. Not too sure what I am doing and how it is going to end There are waves in render view but not in the rendered image, some settings I forgot (or didn’t know) to adjust?
Rendered image:

Render view:

[Mateusz]

Hha hah. Cheers @igorfv .
Thats done feeling lasy this week.

[Mateusz]

Its volumetric cloud. Just made big.

[Enodes]

ok, i am done with this.
The dunes are really node based, every little change took minutes to preview.
I am not quite happy with the result, but the pareto principle is fulfilled.
Render Time: 10 minutes

[Mateusz]

In case you was wandering how the ridges on the desert are forming. Thats how.

[simgen]

hahaha

[umishrak]

Added a few more things. Hope is progressing in the right way.

[simgen]

Bring your own toys

[FedPete]

Spot on!
But maybe, more sand color (darker).
looks like over burned whites.

[FedPete]

Add critters, simple rock, snake trails …

[igorfv]

@Mateusz … this was the least I was expecting from you:

[ZachDude]

I’m also having trouble with differences between render view and render with sand, let me know if you figured it out!

[ZachDude]

I am also realizing how tricky sand is!

[Mateusz]

Here you go

[igorfv]

perfection

[Mateusz]

It would take to long to even get it close to ok. Such big volumetric is just too expensive. Set that up in 5 min. Render time 40 min

[FedPete]

I see an elephant.

[Mateusz]

Its Suzane head But yes I can see elephant too.
I need break

[igorfv]

I know, I’m trying to get the fluid simulatuion dialed up and I already spent 2 nights computing. I cound’t get anything decent =(
