Terrain Creation - Mohne Dam


For the scene with the dam i've chosen the most famous of the primary targets to be hit, the Mohne dam.

using this map of the area i created an image in photoshop to use as a displacement modifer to a plane to get the disired terrain close to looking like the real thing.


After using the image and creating the terrain shape i added the water and textures to the landscape. This is how the Mohne dam scene looks so far. (the pink box represents where the dam will be placed when finished)


The final scene will be much darker as the raid actually takes place at midnight so the only lighting will be the moon and the spotlights around and some street lighting.

For a quick test of water moving i made the scene dark and added one light to represent moonlight reflecting on the water, this is shown here in this short video.


Not brilliant quality but you can just about see the surface of the water moving in the reflections.

The next part of this scene is to be the dam completed which i'm working on now as well as starting the scenery at RAF Scampton for the takeoff and landing shots.
