Description
The terrain used is a 2049 .ter which I used many times with Terragen 0.09. The scene resembles the area near where I live in Phoenix, Arizona and includes the following vegetation: Saguaro by edlo; Manzanita by Harvey Birdman; Ocotillo by Gary Poole; the two varieties of small bushes (sorry; don't have the creator of this one). The small bushes represent Brittle Bush (silver/green) and Creosote Bush (olive/green). The fake stones (four sizes) representing gritty soils are from a clip file by Tangled-Universe - thanks Martin; and, a special thanks to Buzzzzz aka Jay Testerman for his pointers on improving the appearance of the Saguaros; and, for his advice on modifying the appearance of the small bushes.
I wanted to add two more populations of small flowering ground covers but ran into a memory problem.

Fantastic work. It looks real.
very nice vegatation integration, that´s the kind of land you are living ?...it must be a wonderful place, wish i could be there...
Very very well done, Bob! Superb view and light!!!
Nice desert foliage work, Bob. I might have planted less instances of the Saguaro cacti as T2 can only resize and rotate to give the appearance of variation (unlike Vue which can generate unique instances of a given plant) and in such a simply structured plant as this it's easy to see that an individual specimen has been replicated.
Lots of your thought and hard work went into this one, Bob - and it paid off very nicely! Brings back memories of when I last rollled throught there!
Realistic and beautiful scene. Excellent work, Bob.
YEAH !!!! a splendid "shot", BOB !! Bravo!!
