This gallery is a collection of pictures that I have been working on in Microcosm. I am trying to put together a world object that will have a realistic sky, terrain, trees/meadows, and oceans. The hardest part is trying to generate only the part of the world that is needed for a picture without structures, linked lists, hash tables, etc to help organize data.

Clouds

Cloudscapes

Cloudy_sky.jpg is a "full" size version of the thumbnail image above. This is the first image I modeled in Microcosm.

time_lapse_sky.mpg (24-bit 160x120 360 frames 127922)
An mpeg of the above scene with the clouds moving rapidly. I do not recommend watching this on anything other than a 24-bit display (preferably a fast one, like 60 fps at 160x120)

Landscapes

This is one of the first landscapes I did using a noise function. The current landscapes I am working on are attempts to refine the mesh that defines the landscape where it is close to the eye.

This is my first attempt at creating a landscape with a noise function.

This was done as a background for the Juggler test animation. It is rather boring, but what more can you do when modeling flowers with just a shader??? =>
