Hello
i found a nice (i think) trick to generate cool landscape in cinema.
only module You need is Body Paint (1 or 2).
here is the trick:
1) create in Body Paint texture (f.e. 1024x1024) fill it with grey color (neutral) and save to disk (i used jpg format) and i rename it to relief_map.jpg
2) create the Relief Object in Cinema
3) put this file (relief_map.jpg) to the properties of relief object in Cinema
4) switch to Body Panit
5) Open relief_map.jpg and start paint with colors form grey palette (form white to black)
6) to see how change Your landscape simply click on Relief Object properties, on radio button "Spherical" two times...
...and You can make any type of landscape simply in Cinema with "spherical" button (i used this button like "refresh" button)
now You dont need Terragen, Bryce, or another soft like that.
maybe some one of Maxon can add simply fuction to automatical shape refresh? that will be very usefull :D
what You think of that?
