3ds Max Landscape

Another idea i had for my showcase was to have a kind of landscape concept. I tried to have a go at doing this myself as i thought i had learnt quite a lot in 3ds Max recently and felt quite confident. I started by inserting a plane and adding a texure, which is a picture of some grass close up. I could then add bump to make it look like hills or more flat. The sky was added by using a gradient material and selecting the colour of sky.


To make the landscape look a little more realistic i added some fog, this is done under the rendering toolbar under effects.

I think the landscape looks good as a starting point, however, much more detail is needed if i am going to make it look anything like being real!
