  Procedural craters test (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

Inspired by Gail's cool Spectacular Landscapes WIP: a fully procedural 
cratered terrain. My first attempt on this involved some creative use of 
functions and f_noise3d. It wasn't half-bad, but way too slow. This image 
uses another method I came up with: crackle form <1,0,0> pattern, some 
fiddling with functions and a spline to get the right kind of slope. If 
someone is interested, I can describe the technique more accurately and/or 
post the source to the newsgroups.

I like that!!! Please do describe, I've never got a good crater even out
of a height field program.

Thanks :) I posted the quite extensively-commented source to p.t.s-f.
