Description
I'm happy the way the strata worked out here. A fractal terrain includes twist and shear; 'dandelO's' 10M cracks file; and, FrankB's suggested method of attaining strata irregularity. The darker upper surface layer blends nicely with the base color; and, includes an array of four sizes of fake stones which are the same color as the upper surface layer.
Also included are:
• dandelO's Cumulus Fractus clouds.
• Walli's Big Dense Pine.
• Walli's Pine.
• lightning's bushes.
The image was adjusted for brightness /contrast in PS.

Awesome rock and POV, Bob! I am still waiting to get a rendering machine and looking forward to doing something like this one day.
Beautiful result. Corrie
wonderful perspective and the distant part of the scene draws you in, superb
Excellent POV, rocks and lighting, Bob!!!
Superb workmanship!
Well done ! :)
The result is pure realism ... Thanks!
First off, I think the color and texture and displacements are spot on. This is one cool cliff. The pines and the tree to the right give my eye mixed signals though - when I see the big tree the pines look too small, when I look at the pines, the large tree looks too large, so pick the size that helps the best with whatever scale you wish to represent. I like the clouds and the background, but the image is hitting me a little flat, which might get better if the atmo was more dense (but I could be wrong about that one). I love the way the plants are sitting on the ledges - great job young feller!!!
Excellent strata terrain.....nice work.
Beutiful work...one of the best yet that I have seen come out of TG2. Did you need to populate and place all of the pines and such manually?
Killer terrain and POV, Bob- just AWEsome, and I like the atmosphere/natural light and dusty look. Excellent and inspiring.
outstanding realism - unbelievable! love the light and depth :)
Beautiful view from up there... yes, beautiful strata work, Bob
I think it is an awesome work, the strata looks so real that I have not seen that there is something with the trees. If it disturb , it is easy to correct it the trunk of the big tree must be only near to the viewer. Than you have the feel this tree is on another rock where the viewer stand. Excellent job Bob!!!!!
I could take in all the subtle details of the rock face for a long time- the coloring, strata and blending of stones is so real. Great POV looking into the valley beyond.
exellent strata work
It all came together quite well, Bob - I really enjoy a canyon view!
Excellent work Bob! It's very realistic! Compared to the old Terragen, this is light years ahead!
WOW !! superb strates !!! a little desertic land :))))) belle répartition de la vegetation.
a cool view over the landscape! the surface of this mountain looks so very realistic with amazing details! ;o)
