Description
TG2, playing around with image maps.
Full view recommended.
For displacement of the ground I used a grid-patterned image map with spherical projection as a terrain shader, and I liked the resulting uncommon look.
Bushes from Mr.Lamppost's basic bush pack (from Planetside), astrolabium object made by me in Bryce and exported to TG2 (first time I tried that and I'm happy that it worked!)
Postwork in Photoshop and Picture Publisher for contrast, light reflex and signature.
Thanks for looking, commenting and critics!

Awesome! Great print in the mountain! Gorgeous sky and lighting. Corrie
Excellent image! I like that astrolabe and the sky looks very real.
Superb work and the atmosphere is killer
Very nice.
Spectacular as always!
Wow, spectacular! This is so original, I love everything about this.
great idea, wonderful terrain
Sue, this is a fantastic image. (I'm still trying to figure out how you got that design in the mountainside)
Very cool work Susanne.
Fantastic landscape, love all those details and especially the warm, low light! Vashek
Great depth, nice concept
Another beautiful composition. Excellent use of displacement image mapping (masonspappy, that's how the pattern was imprinted on the mountainside) and good deployment of foliage. For me the scene works better without the astrothingummyjig atop the mountain.
Beautifully done!
Wonderful and interesting. Thank you !!!!
I've used images for color, but for some reason have never thought to do so for displacement. And the vegetation is superb!!
