Maya is still the industry standard for film VFX but the game industry is a little mixed. Blender is still unbelievable powerful and capable and amazingly free! I have to admit that my ambitions lie in the film industry so when I have time to advan…

Just incase you guys didn't already know...

I've stopped using Blender3D (infact I stopped several months ago) I now use Maya 8.5 :D! It's REALLY good! The interface is fairly simple (way easier than Blender's) and I love messing around with the fur/grass etc.

I'm still pretty new to it (I can use the modelling tools fairly well, extrude, merge, cut etc.) but I haven't yet learned about materials or rigging/animation.

:) Maya is fuuuuuuunnnnn!

Also this part should probably go on GameFabric but I thought I migh… Continue

Back in Action :D

Computer is now working!! Hahaha!

For some reason the BIOS (or whatever) set itself to default, it messed with something which made my motherboard not be able to see my harddrive which made it so i couldn't actually boot up my computer.

Well, now that that is all fixed (or seems to be) I can continue work on the crap i thought i had lost :D

Was it Polygon by polygon or does Lightwave feature some sort of terrain generator?

Looks good nonetheless, however the sky texture looks stretched.

Nice work :) {End Quote}

Thanks for your critiques and compliments Microwave! To answer your question. Lightwave has something in its system called deformation mapping. Its not a terrain generator neccasarily, and it takes a lot of work to set up to get it the way you want it, but it does help. Basically I used a crumple and hetero terrain deformation map and edited it until it looked good before applying all of the textures. The sky is a Textured Enviournment that I can actaully animate! In the end it almost acts like a terrain generator but there is much more fine tuning, it saves time and gets better results.

if Your going to comment again make sure to comment on my page or on that pictures page.

Thanks!

What do you think about extending the end-date (I hate the term dead-line)

Plus I'm going to get back to serious programming, I've sort of played with many langs in the past. This time, it's the .NET langs boo and C#. I want to use SDL.NET to produce some really original games...

I really plan to upload some of my work on Game fabric, plus I plan to start a coders' network, but that's in the planning stages...
