Title: A new Hobby for ElDiablo (check it out)
Post by: ElDiablo (Paul) on September 10, 2004, 01:53:11 PM
Hey guys,

  I thought that maybe some of you might be interested in seeing what I've been up to since I stopped working on MCM2 tracks (in anticipation of [hopefully] making tracks for MTX: Mototrax). So anyway...here's a few preview pics. (follow the link)

Simply awesome. I didn't know terragen was even capable of what you have produced.

very very nice paul,  yeah Terragen has always been let down by MCM's small sky cube size,
im guessing that MTX will have bigger sky's and even disp maps allowing better detail.
lets hope so.

great work paul.

Ian.

I was pretty sure you could make higher res skycubes then the default size of 2016x504?, thought I read it somewhere but haven't tried it.

overhanging terrain? ? ? hmmm how they guna do that with a top veiw of the terrain hieght field map??   if they have it then there must be a new bit with a 3D view i guess.

thats will be so cool,  as for trees thats what is realy needed on the rendered skys.

What?! LMAO! Whatever...IMHO you are only limited by your imagination...and I have seen Terragen renders where the artist used Trees...they just have to do it in Post Production work. I'm just too lazy (or limited maybe) to mess around with trying that.

It was a sarcastic joke. lol... My point was that you don't have to wait for TG2 to get super realistic looking textures... :)
