      Fantastic work Tom. I have not read all the posts but will this evening
      as Stonehenge has intrigued me for many years. As a matter of interest,
      I saw on TV last, the Geographic Channel that there is to be a program
      on Stonehenge this coming Sunday at 8.00pm GMT (I think!). Its called
      Stonehenge Code or something like that, should be interesting ๐Ÿ˜‰

        I did a little checking! Here are a couple of links on Stonehenge.
        The first is the National Geographic Channel which show quite a few
        interesting links relating to Stonehenge and the second is about the
        program that I mentioned, Stonehenge Decoded.

            looking good so far Remus, only thing i see instantly is a missing texture on one surface.

            care to share the model so I can give it a go with Vue?

              need to get soem shadows going, and need to sort that rgass ut as well. it'll have to wait untill tommorow though, as SU is currently crashing every time i export the model.

                I would love to get my hands on this model ๐Ÿ‘ฟ !
                Would it be too much to ask to share it? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                    Remus,

                    That looks great. Kim Fredrik is also working on a render of the stones. It will be interesting to see what everybody comes up with. There are lots of dramatic photos on various web sites particularly sunrise and sunset that might provide inspiration.

                    I think I'll upload the model to 3DW and post a link here so anyone can get at it.

                    Tom

                      remus: have you taken some of solo's modeling prowess? when i saw that render, i hade to serriously ask myself "is that a photo, or a render?".
                      the only thing i can find that separates it from realism is the grass. though i really shouln't be talking, since i cant make grass yet (i know you use clip maps, but thats the extent of my knowlage)
                      well, when i looked at solo's "terrain" topic, i thought i had seen my "Oh My God that is the most insane thing i have ever seen" model of the day, but this just topped it (sorry solo).

                      The genius switch has no "off" position
                      Intelegence is natrual, it takes real effort to be ignorant

                          I really havent done much...i just added an HDR background and swapped some textures around. Its mostly down to Toms bril modelling ๐Ÿ˜„

                          Julius, new sky coming right up ๐Ÿ‘

                          Igor, the grass was just a spur of the moment addition when i remebred kwist's trick using the photoshop brushes, i'm going to try and improve it for the next one.

                              Here is some grass I made using Kwist's grass component. If your renderer supports alpha mask as clipmap (like Kerkythea does), you are ready to use it. If not, creating an clipmap from the alpha mask is just a minute.

                              Works in SU as well with the transparent png.

                              Gai...

                                I've tweaked a lot of the textures to get a smoother finish on the stones and put the model on 3DW at

                                      Gone for a eerie foggy morning look, used a standard rock texture.

                                          I also downloaded the model but my rig is currently rendering a hard one (displacement kills you) so I will get to it later...
