Description
This was one of those happy accidents you get every once in a while. I was playing with Vue's procedural terrains and twiddled the dials just the right way to come up with a reasonably convincing coral bed terrain. Just follow the simple 2 step recipe above(apologies to non-Vuers) - The key is to clip the terrain altitudes with the accidental filter I came up with, which punches holes in the columns to make them look like tube coral. Play with the colors as you like - the ones I used here were similar to what I saw diving in Cabo, but I might be a little off, since I drank a goodly amount of wine and Tequila the night before.

Dave, this is really great. Very realistic. Thanks for sharing your discovery. This is a great way to get a great find like this out to help other artists in the community in that one could spend hours, or days, or weeks changing variables to find something specific like this.
