Description
Created from a WM reworked DEM file of Oljeto, UT by Buzzzzz (Jay Testerman). The strata file is by stbc (Steve Courtright). Many thanks to the both of you.
Tip: Before applying a strata, take it into Photoshop or PSP and reduce brightness and contrast. Also, apply the 'Gaussian Blur' filter at .8. This should smooth the various layes of colors in the strata layers.

Beautiful image.Thanks for the tip.
The ground surface is sooo fine! Wonderful atmosphere and lighting, visually interesting point of view, super terrain and perfect strata. Thank you for the inspiration, Bob. Outstanding composition and beautiful artwork.
Wow this came out crystal clear Bob! Looks spectacular!
A breathtaking view and render Bob!
Super fine Bob...but, wheres the gold? :)
Joli Pov, j'aime beaucoup l'ambiance de l'image d l'atmo !!
Just woke up and get to see a splendid scene like this. Marvelous all the way, Bob, and a superb addition to the body of your work!
What a beauty Bob! Everything in this just sings a lovely tune! The surface map, the view and the lighting...all first class work!
Beautiful terrain, excellent fine stratas!
great realism. i like the terrain and the surface fits perfectly. excellent job!
Excellent scene. The distant sky and terrain is quite special. Congrats.
superb POv and realisation !
High realism! An excellent idea to modify the strata file. Well done!
xlt terrainwork & strats
excellent work and thanks for the tip on strats!
Excellent Work Bud! All elements came together extremely well, even the unpopular 3D Clouds. ;o) I do think the Terrain could use some more Tweaking though. ;o) Gets a Top Rating.
A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredibly beautiful.
beautiful terrain formations, though agree with Jay...some areas seem a bit pixelly or regular...even so the surfacing/strata and super atmo and cloud control make a very beautiful realistc render!
You have done it! Marvellous view, surfaces are fantastic - complex but just like the Great West in color and placement. A great expansive pov. Even the clouds fit perfecctly. A masterwork!
Il punto di vista, la profonditdell'immagine, i colori...tutto splendido!!
The blue atmo is done masterfully and I like the sense of depth. Love this one, Bob!
Super scene; excellent surfacing; and strata tip much appreciated.
Wonderful terrain,surface,strata and light. Very beautiful work!
A finely crafted basic, no-frills render with all the right elements: depth, lighting surfaces - very nice!
nice image
Thanks for the tip! Agree with above and super strata work
A great render. Excellent work. For the stratas, the "blur" effect can be obtained directly with Stratagen2.
hey where was this tip when we needed it in the forum!! only kiddin - excellent idea and one i'll try soon!! i'd say overall its a NICE image - cos the atmos isnt one i'd like to be standing in - but your surfaces and terrain are excellent!!
Magnificent!
The low angle light, the blue tint to the distant features, the super viewpoint to this excellent area's digital elevation map, and your custom skills at working strata textures sure gives us a visual treat for the eyes. Wonderful A+ art work!
