Here's a new demo of the coming features.
New technology falls nicely into place:
Clouds
The clouds are rendered with the new Skybox layer, using a texture created with the RICOH THETA S: theta360.com...
Water
The water is rendered with the new water layer simulated with the Gerstner model: en.wikipedia.org...
Landscape
The island is rendered with the new landscape layer, using textures created with WorldCreator: world-creator.com
Vegetation
The grass is rendered by a particle layer, standing in the landscape and animated by the new WavingInTheWind effect.
Colourmap
As you can see, the UFO burns down the grass a bit. This has been done by using a colourmap layer as the launching platform for the grass particles. By animating the layers attached to the colourmap you can control the particles. This may sound a bit cryptic, but you'll understand once you have played around with the new colourmap layer.
Text
The 3 texts are rendered with the good old text layer, using the Montserrat font: fontpro.com...
Version 13
We'll soon start inviting beta testers and if we do not encounter any serious issues, BluffTitler version 13 can be launched next month!
This show, including all the textures will be included in the installer.
The future looks bright, have a great weekend!
All these layers look great, but how did you created landscape with world-Creator which only available in september?

Thank you Vincent!
We've used the old version: World Creator 1.
Of course there are other apps that can generate heightmaps, like this one: world-machine.com
And we are thinking about a BixPack with ready to use landscapes for intro videos!
