(HAPPY HALLOWEEN!)

Actually you could make it bigger than 256, but there's plenty of detail on each one.

You can play will all the variables and get drastic results...
You can also sharpen or lessen the blur by changing both 'get image' texture flags.

The code is my usual slop-style, but runs like a thief =)

Simple method yet with pleasant results. Nice work.

I modified your code slightly, structurally more than anything. It's a little shorter and in a function now.

I tried a very quick render of it!

All hail the new flesh

Thanks guys!!

Nice, Phaelax... the function format is better for dropping into a larger coder, yes? I need to do more work with functions myself.

Hey that's a cool pic, Le Verdier! I like the shadows!
Is that rendered with Blitz Terrain or something else?

I'm just now delving into texture splatting based on an old shader by DaveC9000. When I can figure out how the alpha maps affect one another I should be able to make some nice landscapes with multiple detail textures.

It isn't realtime, I used Vue 2014
A raw 512*512 texture with no fractal details,
Atmosphere and texture provided...
As I said, a very quick render!
