Snowy Mountain + Sky + Water Tutorial?

[medula]

Hi all, I dont suppose you know of any tutorials lying around that teach how to create snowy mountains, sky, or water?

I found this as far as snowy mountains go
http://www.creativecow.net/show.php?page=/articles/libisch_dan/moonlight_mountain/index.html

But im not aware of how to access the 'material manager' (not the material editor) or how to
create a new bhodiNUT NUKEI material, if you could explain that to me, It would be greatly appreciated

Try that search button! Look what I found: http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33880&highlight=snow

material manager is bottom left corner...with the different materials show.
left click - file - shader - nukei
should do it.

Thats weird--I barely remember making the examples in that thread. Goes to prove I've posted way too many times. Nice blast from the past.

If you really want realistic terrains with water clouds etc then use the free program terragen there are also free plugins to bring the terragen scene into c4d and map the textures. For an animation you render the scene in terragen and use the movie as a camera mapped texture in C4D which will render very quickly and allows you to put objects and effects into the terragen scene, though TG does not animate the water it is a simple case of adding noise to get a good sea effect

see my tutorial here :

Hi Paul.

I was on the TG users group mailing list thread (until I was getting way too many emails) and they apparently do have a moving water plugin now. Havent used it or seen examples--but its there. I think its called water works. It also allows for nice foam beach contours where water meats the land--something I've often tried to do with proximal.

Here are available plugins--including waterworks)

waterworks does the foam etc but will not animate the water

How about a snowy mountain tutorial? ;-)

Howdy,

For skies, here are some really nice cloud tutorials: http://clouds.liquid-light.org/
They're written for the old BhodiNUT SLA shaders, so the parameter settings screen shots may not be the same now that the SLA shaders are integrated into C4D.

Adios,
Cactus Dan

I see. I'd assumed that with a name like water works it was a fluid animation system of some kind. Thanks for clearing it up.
