Sand?

[Bowcat]

Hi,

What you think is the best way to make sand, sorrounding a house?
I heard a lot about displacement here in the forum, but never used it and the tutorial in vray.info is not working.
Got any ideas?

thanx!

single sandgrains are much smaller than a single pixel,
so a simple diffuse map with a sand texture is enough.
you could make some bigger dunes with a noise map.

Max's default sand texture can be used to great effect with the right noise mod on a plane or a vraydisplacemap.

max's sand texture? I don't think I got that. Do you mean cellular?
By the way, that image is awesome.

There is a texture called sandwave.jpg, i believe that is the bitmap Daforce is talking about.

Quite a few sand maps that could be helpfull, as well as the sandwave one.

Enjoy.
