Thought I'd share what I'm currently working on, see what people though I should work on. I'm trying to get to a point where I can make almost real looking terrains in World Machine, but I've got a long way to go, I feel. If you have any tips or tricks, let me know!

Nice work! Keep us in the loop!

Very nice work. You definitely have to share your progress on that...

Right now, I'm just kinda stumped as to where to go next. I'm at the point where I usually pull it into Vue, but I want to keep working on it so that when I do finally pull it in, the terrain itself looks photorealistic.

Alright, I have a final version with textures done in Vue xStream. Side note: Thank god that World Machine can output alphas easily and quickly, otherwise texturing this the way I did would have been MUCH more difficult.

Nice! I think a wider shot would look better though.

Thanks! I agree, and I tried that first, but when the estimated render time for the prepass hit 957 hours and 31 minutes, I kinda had to nip that in the bud, haha. Maybe once I get my actual desktop, rather than doing all of this on an old laptop I bought at Wal-Mart for $450 5 years ago, haha.

I really like the look of this. How do you make the rocks instead of mountains? Most people are making mountains all the time so this is different.
