Here's my entry for day 19!
Wanted to add a skybox in COPS but Houdini kept not rendering the mountain so I scrapped it, must have made an error somewhere but COPS is unbelievably laggy on my PC so I didn't want to spend hours trying to fix it!

Peak

Rocky Peaks. My submission for Houly2020 DAY 19 Peak challenge.

Rendering with a little volumetric and low laying fogs made quite a difference.

Hope you like it.

Here's the peak with a twist…

HOULY is doing a great job of making me realise just how little Houdini I actually know!

Peak

In cartography maps are generally shaded with light from the top-left.
Lighting from the south can cause the map to not look right.
Sometimes causing relief inversion where peaks become valleys and vice versa.

Fashionably late to the party today! Nonethless here is Day 19: Peak!

Today I went with a simple fly-over a strange alien landscape.

No time today, so I'm copying Lego to points again.
