Dunes of the Valley

Some days before e-on software leaked out the new heightfield terrain erosion nodes before the release of VUE 2016, I saw some amazing photos of the dunes in Death Valley. I loved the contrast between the foreground dunes and the heavily eroded background mountains. I decided right away that as soon as VUE 2016 comes out, a scene inspired by that landscape will be the first scene I make in the new version. I had the chance to play around with the new erosion nodes and its parameters, that's how I made the background terrains.
The foreground terrain is from one of our old products, Desert Terrains, available exclusively at YURdigital.
For controlling the material distribution on the background mountain, I applied this method: http://www.dreahorvath.eu/flow-and-sediment-distribution-using-vue-2016-new-erosion-node/

I might rework this later, as I explore this new feature more and more.
