Description
Hmm made a tutorial about asteroid populations in vue and I guess thats where all of this started from..The scene was rendered in terragen2. Background painted in photoshop. There are bout 3million rocks in the scene + planet.. Rendering took 1hour with 3200x1600. So what you are seeing is the actual working size.

It's gorgeous! Whenever I tried to make crater I couldn't find it..

Thanks. Hmm what do you mean? With terragen2? Perhaps you have too small scale?

Well, in TG1 you could move everything with your mouse, here you have to write the coordinates, and this is where I get lost

right click and copy coordinates and paste them to the crater shader and its where you want it to be

Oh, shit.. I didn't know you can do things like that
It looks like I've missed a lot of TG settings :/
Thanks a lot!

Had the same problem as well in tg2, did get a helluva lot easier when I found out you could copy and paste coordinates.
still switched to vue though, couldn't be arsed with the horrible interface of tg2 :-p

Yea, TG1 was way better due to interface, TG2 is horrible

It's fairly simple, and the user interface is much friendlier. Only made one scene thus far: [link] but it seems to handle terrains almost as good as tg2

Hmm interface problems? All you need is the render view and node network
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never got my hands around the node network, and the render view updated so slowly I had to wait for 10min for it to re-render after every small change I made

Yeah the rendering requires a rather fast computer..as for node network. Well its awesome. It's one of the things that make this software so powerful. Many other 3D applications use this system too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's mainly the render time for the preview window that got me discouraged. I do understand the concept of the node network to some extent, and understand it can be a powerful tool, yet I do think even the node network interface could be better

Wow, that looks pretty sick! Does it take long to make it/render it?

Feels like we're invading freelancahs space a bit here, heh
The render time was 12 hours (on a two year old laptop), what you see is the original resolution: 1600x1200
Did take a while to make, though most of the terrain is procedural (an infinite auto-generated fractal terrain), so most of the work was on the atmosphere, lightning and positioning - and post work of course.

I agree with ~MarikBentusi , the large crater oriented as it is definitely gives of a very Death Star-ish vibe.

Yeah I'm sure it does but I must say I didnt have it in mind in the making process

Nice work. That planet looks like it took a lot of nasty hits!
