Description
Everyone else seems to be using this excellent sand texture on mayday's free stuff, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Wonderful work! Excellenly done! Superb light and colors!!! :)
ola! eoin, very nice scene. love the colors and the sand. the sun is superb and the cloud structures too. did you make that sandgrain with a texture or with photoshop in pw?
My mouth is parched, but my eyes are watering...LOL. What a perfect desert scene!
Is it real? AWESOME desert Eoin! Bravo! :)
Well, predictably, you have done it the best yet, but you have the advantage of hindsight construction... Awesome.
I am speechless.......... Most amazing render!!! Excellent and superb work!!!!!!!!!!!!! V
Looks great! I love the light and colour and the terrain you built. And it would be perfect as the background of the render I'm working on right now. Too bad that sand is for Terragen only and not for Vue ;)
This is just WRONG - I have beat myself to death to make a "perfect" dune foregronud like this and have gotten nowhere! (and I don't do overlays...)A big hats-off, my friend & thank you for showing that something "real" CAN be done!!!
Gorgeous sky and sand. I've seen the mayday sand texture used in 3 tg renders now...it's suprising how different the sand looks in each one. A beautiful render!
gosh! this is one of the most perfect foregrounds i've seen in terragen history! the atmosphere is amazingly complimenting the image as well. the rest... the rest is fantastic as well. this should be the official ad of the SO Pack! V without a doubt for this breakthrough!
Magical Eoin! A great day at the beach...if the surf every shows up ;) Extremely nice work!
Amazing sands! Hats off to you!
Excellent and superb work - sand wonderful texture
WOOW, you sure know how to use the overlays, Fantastic. It really does look like real sand. Excellent work!!!
Yeah, that really is a good sand texture. Nice use of it. Where is the link to it?
Outstanding and gorgeous terrain, surfacing and atmosphere... My goodness.. amazing...
excellent !
...seems I have to test too, what May offered. Just missing some bare bones & skulls, hehe!! :) Stunning desert scene, respect!
Excellent travail, la surface sable est magnifique. La distribution et le scale depth des surfaces sont parfaits !!! On dirait une image "Christian Fly" c'est pas peu dire !!!!
I really like this alot, this image is amazing. Excellent work here!
Simply marvellous in its austerity. Reminds me of our local sand dunes at |Merthyr Mawr. Not too much detail... in fact, just right. I guess I'll have to give it a go too.
Excelente trabajo!!!
This is exactly the proof that overlays can be use in a "reasonable" way, I mean natural looking. Excellent result.
Fantastic work!!
Great desert scene! Excellent work as always!
Wonderful work,Bravo!
The faster you go the harder the sand gets. Unless of course you are walking. Then it is just a swishey thing to avoid driving down and sinking.
Excellent!Beautifuly rendered.
The best sand overlay I've seen. Outstanding Terragen work!
Fascinating surface. Outstanding POV and light. Really excellent work!!!
