I dont speak the languae that was used in that tut, but I just followed the image.
this is the final outcome from the tutorial

and this is how mine looks.


mines way too bumpy and it dosetn have that nice soft grainy sand texture like the outcome from the tutorial. What am I doing wroung? Please help me out here.

First of all it is OVER exposed in lighting....... the bump or displace u used for the ground.... tile it bigger.... for bigger dunes.... add noise for the soft grain....you could mix or mask or just add it...


okay i look over tut... i dont read that language also... but what i can see where u missed out was on the noise... check ur noise... also use google or bable fish to translate the site... you might of missed a step... also check your smoke... ur variables ARE WRONG... dont know for shure...

U just need to decrease the displacement value from 40 to 10 and set proper lighting with mental ray.......
