Earth? Who says it's Earth? ;-)

Nice! I do like those alien plants.
It does look a bit dark-- but it also reminds me of what our eyes do when they
first confront a really *bright* scene: they kind of temporarily 'shut down' for
a moment, to adjust to the brightness.
In any case, a nice image, with a 'mysterious' quality.

I learned (from Clipka) to put some 'glass' beads (properly scaled) in
the forefront. It enhances the sand feel. Otherwise, a granite
micronormal normal, also only for the front half will give the right
sandy effect.

At this moment, I know of two rock makers: Bob Roseman (PRThull Rock
Tool, a standalone app for Win95) and John VanSickle (Makerock.inc).
There was a third one, which I lost over the years. I guess that is the
one you used, deduced from the shape of your rocks. However, there may
have been more rock makers abroad ;-)

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it was John VanSickle's makerock.inc.
I have never used a W95 program for it.

I'll have to look into that. It's gonna be a bit tricky since this is part of an
animation so the camera moves around.

I've never had much luck with normals. That's why the columns in the back have an
actual rough surface instead of a "normal" based surface.

If it started:
#macro ScalarRange(Seed)
(rand(Seed)-rand(Seed))
#end
#macro VectorRange(Seed)
(<rand(Seed),rand(Seed),rand(Seed)>-<rand(Seed),rand(Seed),rand(Seed)>)
#end
then it was John's makerock.inc. It's still up on the net at

Funny!
/That/ is the rock.inc version.

Makerock.inc does not have macros (at least in my version).

Or a world which lost most of its atmosphere down to almost Mars-like
pressure levels, now too thin to maintain higher animal life forms and
thus leading to the demise of its civilization (the ruins in the
background), but still facilitating the growth of some hardy
vegetation... a planet like Bitan in my projected Shams system!
See you in Khyberspace!
