Description
Playing around with procedural terrains which is something I normally don't do because my computer really lacks the horsepower to experiment. But I threw all caution and reason to the wind and really impressed myself with this one.

Stunning render!
DAMN! That looks like a photo! Very well done.
Very nice image!
WOW! Looks great in full size. Top marks.
That looks fantabulous! I love the material mixing as well as the terrain. I have never quite got the balance just right but you have in this one :)
Wow! This looks fantastic!!!!
Very good terrain work..
You have impressed me as well.. At first I thought it was a photo and when I saw it was Vue I just had to let you know how much I like this.. It is some great and majestic mountain scenery. I wish I could make Vue do this but everything I have made with it looks like junk and I run back to the safety of my P{oser program... hehehehe.. anyway, a definite 5++ on this .. more of this would be fine with me, keep experimenting .. it brings out the best in you it seems...
well done looks real
very cool looking render Gary. I've been noodling around with snow recently but never managed to get it looking that good
Gary, that is absolutely stunning. I especially like the rock texture, I guess it's a procedural one as well. I don't have any words for the terrain, it's simply awesome. Instant favorite.
That's quite a spectacular vista and extremely realistic looking, fine use of Gills mats as well.
Looks great Gary...I would have liked to have seen the peak also.
Outstanding work with many realistic details! Amazing reality!
Seriously cool render ;-)
WOW! Really amazing mountain!
Your picture gives me vertigo, not only because of the cliffs, but mainly through the maestria you have to perform some of these fantastic pictures !!!
Fantastic work
Remarkable!
Superb landscape, beautiful yet forbidding ... would take a person willing to 'throw all caution to the wind' to go skiing there! Keep up the great work. Would look really cool to put a crashed plane in there ...
I love this snowy mountain. It really is one of the most realistic snowy mountains I have seen created in Vue. Great work
Very good light and texture.
That is one realistic mountain! I am a bit in the same situation as you with the whole procedural terrain stuff, so I REALLY get the awesomeness of this image! hehe:D
Outstanding Render!
