How do I make a monument or butte?

[scotttucker3d]

I have been trying a long time to create a terrain that looks like one of the monuments in monument valley. It is called Mitten Butte. I think I have to master using layers to get this to work.

The base is a talus and sediment that slopes away (like a cone) from the center rocky element. The base also include alluvial fans of eroision. The center element has near vertical faces with lots of places where rock has fallen away.

I have tried a lot of the erosion settings and presets, but I haven't found one like this.

I can send an image of the monument/butte if that helps describe it better.

I know Geocontrol is up to the challenge :D , I just have to find out what I need to do to make this reality.

thanks for your time, :)

Hi Scott,

Use Mountain Ridged (Mesa like) + Canyons (Mesa) + Hight sedimentation (over all) + Fluvial Hard Terraces.
Play with the presets :wink:
If you need it, I have build the terrain shape.

Thanks Phillipe - that's got me pointed in the right direction.

I also noticed I have a lot more presets to play with now that I purchased it :D

I can see from your artwork and your presets you enjoy the desert formations too.

thanks again,

Scott
