I exported a 196Mb test .OBJ export terrain from the new Gaea 1.0 landscape sculpting software. Possibly if I had started adding more effect layers to the terrain, the file-size of the .OBJ would have been larger. But, as it is, I thought it would be useful for readers to see what a corner from one of Gaea starter preset terrains looks like when exported as a mesh and rendered in Vue 2016. No smoothing or other fix was applied to the mesh.<\/p>\n

I simply applied a basic ‘Grey Rock Photolayers’ for relatively speedy rendering (speedy by Vue standards), a vanilla Vue ‘Afternoon’ Atmosphere, and a bit of sea for decoration. The camera is looking across a small section at the corner of a 1k terrain. Gaea 1.0’s free version is limited to 1k terrains. But with a suitable material on it the terrain looks adequate for hobbyists making widescreen pictures of vast and distant terrain.<\/p>\n

As you can see, you don’t want your camera too close to ‘bare rock from Gaea’ unless you’re going to: i) noodle on it with with some Photoshop postwork; ii) hide it in shadows or with foreground objects (swooping spaceship, balcony etc); or iii) cover it up with a Vue ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Bryce 7 didn’t do so well. Ten minutes to import the mesh, and then unable to make it look even half-decent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
