A long time ago on this list I heard of masking one material to the other with surface normal compared to the normal of the Mapping object.   De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Neil Cooke Envoyé : Tuesday, October 03, 2006 4:37 PM À : user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Objet : Re: This list is so boring dead without Garry!   Bon Jour Jean-Sebastien,   I still have more work to do on this but so far I find the dirt material and the noise controller of Karl's to be quite useful.   There is a landscape example in RS3D ... samples/scene_templates/island ... which I have yet to study and I think it might be way forward for me. The guts of this is a terrain material which is maybe what you are after.   I had thought of using Zaug's greebles to get some terrain elements randomly assigned to the main mesh but have yet test this. I think Matthias was looking into mountainscapes and the examples he posted were spectacular.   One way I was thinking of selected mesh faces at different "altitudes" in ortho horizontal view. While I have had no luck with assigning bumps to selected faces due to being unable to smooth the progression to the edges of the faces selected because of interpolation limits, I have been able to use colour materials and, as mentioned have yet to use this method with Zaug's greebles to assign specific objects to such "strata".   It's not something I have completed in any way, but the above is as far as I have gone at this stage. Sorry can't be more help.   Neil Cooke ----- Original Message ----- From: Jean-Sebastien Perron To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 9:12 AM Subject: This list is so boring dead without Garry!   So no one on this list know how to create a terrain material ?   Jean-Sebastien Perron www.neuroworld.ws
