Description
My favorite terrain displacement set up depicts an imaginary place somewhere near the Red Rock country of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Balloon Fiesta is quite an event to see once each year. Check it out at: http://www.balloonfiesta.com/ .
Thanks to Thelby for creating the balloon model; and, Walli for the pines and dry shrubs models. The vegetation colors were modified in Photoshop to better suit the lighting and terrain.
Enjoy...
Bob

Beautiful view! Vashek
It's a beauty, Bob! Hope he doesn't venture any closer though...
Up, Up & Away!
Striking terrain. Looks so real!
Fantastic scene and POV! Great lighting. Corrie
This is absolutely stunning Bob, can't get more real than this!!! Swear it was real if I didn't know it was a Terragen render. The textures of the cliffs, shrubs, balloon and lighting are perfect. Well done!!!
superb, what an amazing work, love the touch of the balloon
Great looking rock there!
Very beautiful composition, Bob!!!
fantastic image, cool pov
Very, very nice Bob. Love the pov.
Whoa- wouldn't want to be that close! Awesome POV, and the light looks very natural. Good looking terrain, as well- color and texture. Excellent work, Bob.
Very nice rock texture/material.
Nice balloon, Bob! And I certainly like the randomness of the rock formation.
I agree with everyone about the terrain, it is as photoreal as they come!! Very Nice Work on this Bob!! Merry Christmas!!!
Nice one Bob...supurb as always.. ...
Sehr schön.
Very good light and texture.
WOW! A lot of great elements here Bob!Love the ballon theme- the depth perspective which is highlighted even more by the light angle & the rocky terraintexture is spot on! A ride in a hot air balloon is on my bucket list!:)
