True Terrain 5.2

 

I spent a lot of time on the terrain in scene 002. Not much to show for it because render times are fairly long. I hope to add a couple more layers to the materials without causing the blackout problem, which is reportedly being fixed in Blender 5.2/True Terrain 5.2.

I check that this is true, and discover that True Terrain 5.2 is OUT! What the heck!?!

<a few minutes later>

True-Terrain 5.2 installed okay. I did a render test. Okay. I created a new scene and got carried away with the polygon count, probably 200 million polygons. Hard crash with a system reset. <glum>

It seems stable when I don't get carried away, although new scenes appear to present a bug when using masks. 

The mask should match the displacement, but by default, it is offset. I raised a bug on True-VFX's GitHub.

Scene 002

Maximal effort today and the weekend to push the scene forward. I will see if I can add a coastline and maybe some mountain tips, with darker rock and snow.
