Description
My 2c in this popular matter.
*
The terrain was made with GeoControl Demo (4096x4096).
Surfaces are terragen layers+strata+ground overlays with pic from stock.
Final render in Terragen(6000x4500), less than 4h- without sky.
Postwork: added horizon, clouds, colours+resize & sharpen (jpeg compression suck!)

Thanks for reading/viewing. Post your comments! I tried to make it realistic but still some things need improvement ;<

Bravo! This is splendid.
Oh yeah! Startling detail and realism! Outstanding surface map...the sky is awesome! Fantastic work!! V
It looks very realistic. The sky is very well done, also the surface and the terrain is terrific !
Excellent work! Wonderfuly done! Bravo!!!
Fantastic work. It looks very much like the Grand.
The terrain looks great! There's so much detail, almost looks like something made in Maya or something (although the atmosphere and surfaces tell me it's still wonderful TG). Great surfaces, although the pink and green strata looks a little funky in the foreground, it seems to work beautifully in the background. The subtle overlay and atmosphere are what make this so realistic. BRavo!
Best Geo Control Terrain I've seen! Bravo! Excellent work on the rest to!
outstanding in all aspects. Convincing realism!
xlt work
Excellent terrain and POV. Wonderful surface work and detail.
Wonderfull! amazing sense of depth and cool overlay!!!! i feel just a little bit of low contrast btw, congratulations!
Fantastic terrain and surface mapping
Gigantic! V
Impressive terrain! Bravo!
I agree with Buzzzzz, this is such a superbe terrain that I thought at first glance that it might be some kind of hi-rez DEM. Congratulations! Surfaces and strata are super as well, with lovely lighting matching this sky picture. Kudos.
For me the surface work is the clincher, Extra Super Stuff IMO!!!
Thanks guys. Your suggestions (little funky pink and green, low contrast and lovely lighting ;) and all kindlly comments means alot!
Very cool terrain! It looks huge, detailed and natural. Bravo! Agree with sanosoke about the strata colours, but anyway amazing work!!
What a work ! That's completely amazing ! From the high-quality terrain to the nice-colored surfaces, all that I see here is really well done.
Beautiful 'photorealistic' image. Your surface map is gorgeous. Love the softness of it. Excellent work on the terrain, POV and colors.
Its wonderful...your hard work paid off...though I prefer darker more contrasty images...this one is excellent...view, depth, surfaces...you have mastered Terragen in a very short time and I look forward to your future works!!
wonderful surface ,excellent terrain,Bravo!
