This is the final version of my rocks pic. Ineed to move on a start another
pic so I will not change this any more

About 250,000 objects, several tens of million triangles and about 4 days to
render.

Looks terrific!

Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

I've been trying to replicate the rock towers in the winning entry of the
spectacular landscapes round of the IRTC using isosurfaces. I've only had
limited sucess though.

I don't think you should change it.
It's a great and beautiful image as it is.
Another artwork from you (and a new wallpaper for me).

I admire your tenacity.  You have been on this mission of iso rocks for 
some time now.

Your mountainscape looks particularily treacherous. A sublime kind of 
beauty.  The butterflies add an contrasting accent.

I like your image better than the IRTC winning entry. The butterflys add
some nice character/action (Warm Up II?). The distance mountains and the
(great) sky remind me of a Star Trek TOS matte painting. This image would
make a great high resolution print.

I was surprised "Midday in Rock Valley" won that round. I thought several of
the other entries were better, but I guess that's not unusual. I often like
another image better than the winner, sometimes one not even in the top
six. I thought Marc Jacquier's Fragile spectacular landscape was awesome.

Midday's creator, Golden Grifon, won a 3DLuvr contest recently as well, at

The grass is from my own grass generator created with help from Tor Olav and
the trees and flowers were created in xfrog mostly stock plants heavily
modified by me. I've yet to find time to really get to grips with xfrog.

Very nice, the shape of the higher rocks is very good, at the water line
it is somewhat steep.

I know that feeling - but i would try to render it in larger size on
occasion.

A dark seam on the rock where the water splashes
would add even more realism here.

I have made a quick test - this is far from being comparable to the
original but i think it shows it is not impossible (although in this
particular case a mesh based approach could be easier).

The pattern used for the cracks is:

crackle
metric 1
form <0.8,0,0>

Hi Chris

My results are similar and use similar code - getting the extra refinement
though is the hard part!

Actually, after a quick check I see that I havn't used metric, maybe that's
the key - thanks for the suggestion Chris :-)

Beautiful, as usual <g>. How's the rock done? Isosurface?

Very nice, 

I've been trying to do something similar for a while but with little
success. Would you be able to post the isosurface code for this image
?

Cheers
Rob
