Description
With the TG2 preview out this week and after my post in the forum, I got a little nostalgic recognizing that soon Terragen 0.9XX will be no more. So, here is what will likely be my last render with this program.
It has given me many hours of enjoyment over the past few years....farewell my friend.
Pure, 100% Terragen...the only postwork is sharpening.
Enjoy!

Very beautiful clouds and lighting, great composition, great pov... nostalgie is good :)
I have watched your work with this program for a fair while now and you've honestly left me in awe... What an awesome render to finish with too buddy! You really are an incredible artist! Look forward to your work with the new TG2! Hope you are keeping well.
beautiful good bye! i home to see both terragen and tgd renders in the gallery :) your terragen sky was really inspiring for me! excellent one more time
impressive sky
Great clouds and lighting!
Great and impressive. It could be a demo of its capabilities... Just wondering what 1.xx will be capable of...
Theres a T2 coming out? Well arent i happy i never learnt the first version then. LOL. This is awesome John. Beautiful terrain and dramatic sky. Well done Sir. #:o)
Yeah Exc last one! I made my last Terragne one month ago! BTW i think it's a great idea that everyone put something here on this gallery to say goodbye on Terragen! May be i redo another last one for 14 dec :)) !! GReat One!!
Wonderful render!Excellent pov,surface and sky! I look forward to see your TG2 works!
A suitable parting shot!
Nice work! But dont forget, its not going to be 'no more' It'll still be there to use, and now with a power powerful TG too! Be happy, we now have to TG's to play with!
yeeah! super sky, congratz!
Wonderful terrain. A dynamic and dramatic sky.
Wowwwww, very impressiv work in this one and excellent composition color, lighting and form of texture, I like!!! Good day my champion ;)
Great sky and lighting!
This is a great render !!
Amazing!!!
I had recently the same feelings with the "old" TG 0.9.xx. Very nice render, I will wait for your future works with the new TG2.
Aw - I wouldn't be too hasty to kiss 0.9XX goodbye just yet - lots of us will still be using it for some time to come. Excellent classic render!
sniff -- the old girl has served us well -- i see that you still havent lost the passion!! cant wait to see what your capable of with T2
I'll echo Rich in his caution on being too hasty. Apparently T2 (and the Tech Rev) will be more like working in a traditional 3d landscaping environment, a la Vue or Bryce, and the 0.9xx Terragen with its unique surfacing application will still have its pull. Take a look at your excellent surfacing in this image, it has a unique and special beauty which will be hard to replicate with the appliance of mats in the conventional way of doing things.
Love this pov and there are those gradient rays again - just wonderful as always!
Cool timing for me getting the Render machine FINALLY done! Great render; I have fond memories of 0.9x as well...
Nicely done, John. Can't wait to see what you do with the new program.
I hope what we have learned with TG will be of benefit with TG2. However, I expect we'll be back to square one ...it should be fun! As always, your Terragen work is yours alone ...truly signature 'Gradient' work here ...beautiful!
Nah...never say never....your rays still rain supreme...will TG2 do them any better...I doubt it. You will use TGO...O for original....again...you must. TG2 will be fun but, I feel too different from the original...I will use both...I still love terragen...its special. Wonderful TGO render...hope to see more :)
Excellent image - but like many have already said, I wouldn't wave goodbye to good old 0.9 just yet - from what I've seen the TG2 Technology Preview is a very different beast.
The atmo, pov, and surfacing are all stunning. Your work with terragen is very inspiring, and it will be interesting to see what you'll create in TG2. Hope you have an excellent day.
Once again I'm astounded by your work!! Excellent and flawless!
You have a great talent with this programme my friend, certainly blew my socks off on more than one occasion.. I would carry on...
