AtoZ Kudos Terrains II PLUS v1 ------------------------------------------ There are no sounds in space, but Gramor could hear an erie deep groaning in his suit. It was actually coming up through his heavy boots. The surface was dynamically shifting right below his feet! It was hard to believe that this many centuries had passed yet the very planet he was walking on was moving. Yet every location they had been flying to on Sister II gave out the same strange groaning. 'That's funny,' he thought, 'I was on Sister I just last week and the silence there was erie. The only sounds I heard there was the grunching of my boots on that grainy grey surface!' ------------------------------------------- We'd like to call them moons but the Kudos System is so strange, we will not. The Two Sisters are very different planets when compared to the Kudos itself. They AND the Kudos Sun Circle actually circle the planet Kudos. Each is a near planet sized world and considering the makeup of their parent world, Kudos, one would think that they would be comprised of the same materials. However, this is not the case, Sister I is almost colorless and in its recent history had a very thin atmospheric layer comprised promarily of an Argon-like gas. Only traces of this remain barely detectable in the deepest craters that mark its relatively smooth surface. Kudos' captive Sister II is quite colorful and has a fairly active surface. It too had a thin atmosphere, but as Sister II lies nearer to the Kudos sun, when that cataclysmic solar storm of energy burst blew it into oblivion. Only Sister II has been reinhabited with surface bases and subterranian ones like those that had been established on both planets long ago. These had been blown away by that powerful solar event so radically changed the Kudos System. The long and storied history of Kudos and those who have visited it along with the powers that be who have battled for control over its wealth is told in the trilogy, "The Chronicles of Kudos by Tim Machan on Kindle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The AtoZ Kudos Terrains II v1 package gives you seven new terrains and a number of effects you can apply both to these and to any terrain square in your libraries! You can litter a terrain like the litter on Kudos, Add a Kudos Lightning Panel and its surface liquifying, vaporizing and roiling effect. By the way here is how to create the surface effects so that they follow your terrains... (Hey! maybe you can use this method to modify the 2D "effects you already own!) 1) Load a Terrain 2) Duplicate it 3) Raise the duplicate a very small amount above the "original" BTW: Make sure you're moving the correct figure! 4) Apply an AtoZ Kudos Terrain II MAT Pose Effect to the duplicate 5) Adjust the duplicate's location to your liking and Viola! Now you have your "AtoZ Special Effect" now ready to render! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AtoZ Kudos Terrains II vi Contains: Runtime>Libraries> Pose>TJM>Effects <- Here are the "Special Effect" Mat Poses!

Strangely there have been no new AtoZ Products for over a month due to the learning curve we had to work our way through to bring you this cool set of additional Terrains! In addition, I wish to again thank Nelmi for the merchant resource spectacular texture sets that had to be modified to use legally. These were used both to create the topography of these and to textures them as well... Thank you! If you add this AtoZ offering to your libraries, may I thank you in advance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENJOY! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal Copyright 2020 Tim Machan's AtoZ, Inc.
