Terraformers by Cyllan

Updated: This new version of the terraformers includes all previous updates plus new texture tiling on a parameter dial; spin the dial as you work to tile your textures, and keep them pinsharp no matter how much you scale the figure or move the camera in. This means that textures can be kept small, and you can still have fine detail without overloading your renderer. It also allows you to minimise the distortion effects when morphing the terrains heavily.

Tired of posing your characters in front of backdrops where they can't interact with the scenery? Do you want to be able to create realistic landscapes quickly and easily that your characters can walk through? Terraformers is a series of scenery figures that will allow you to do just that. Each can be used 'as-is', or you can use the morph dials to create an almost infinite variety of scenes, from the realistic to the wildly distorted and surreal.

The series consists of three large morphing terrain pieces, in a semicircular format to make them equally suitable for framing a scene or use as a backdrop, two water pieces, a ground plane, and a free standing rock.

Software Required: Version 4.01 of Poser or higher. DAZ Studio users can use the PP settings.

Featuring:

Cove: 

low rolling dune-like hills surrounding a plateau, with dials to apply the morphs Hill1Up, Hill2Up, Hill3Up, Hill4Up, Hill5Up, Hill6Up, CentreUp, OneMountain, OnePeak, OneBerg, CentreCrater, Jag, Roughen, Left, Right, Dunes, Strata, OuterCliff, InnerCliff, and Crystal.

Mountain Pass: 

a steep mountainous terrain with a path into it, with dials to apply the morphs Hill1Up, Hill2Up, Hill3Up, Hill4Up, Hill5Up, Hill6Up. CentreUp, Crater, Crater2, Spires, Sheercliffs, Dunes, Circular, CastleRock, Overhang, Jag and Roughen.

Cliffs:

a curving escarpment, with dials to apply the morphs RaiseCentre, StrataCentre, WaveAll, Strata, RaiseEnds, RoughenAll, Roughen, JagPartial, Jag, Cavebig, Caveside, and Cavecorner.

Rock: 

a freestanding rock, with dials to apply the morphs Fissured, RockInside, Mushroom, Shell, Saucer, Concertina, Concave, Concave2, Pear, Oblong, Heart, Roughen, and Irregular.

Ground:

A gently irregular ground plane, with dials to apply the morphs Right, Left, Jag, Roughen, SplitRock, Pool, Cracked, crack1, Ridge, CentreUp, Wave, Wave2, and Ploughed.

Water:

A water plane with dials to apply the morphs WaterDome, BowWave, CrossCurrent, SwirlLarge, WaveBreaker, WaveLarge, WaveSmall, RippleWave, CentreCircle, and CentreIn.
      
Waterfall:

A waterfall complete with separately scalable rough water at the foot, with dials to apply the morphs SideWave, VerticalCurve, CentreTurbulence, BottomTurbulence, TopTurbulence, Wave, Roughen, RippleUneven, and Ripple.


The set includes ten land textures and a bitmap, all of which are compatible with any of the land pieces, and three water textures with their own transparencies (suitable for both the water and the waterfall), and three water reflection maps, two for the water plane and one for the waterfall. Pose files are supplied to easily apply these.

All the textures are mapped to flat squares, so you can use your own photographs easily as textures if you wish.

The freestanding rock now uses displacement maps in P5+. TO make smooth rocks, use the material room to disconnect the displacement map.

N.B. Poser 4 users will need to convert the file generalbmp.jpg to a .bum file before use.
