Description
A side canyon (of which there are many) of the Grand Canyon depicting a flash flood brought on by several consecutive days of rain. Many of these side canyons are dry. See some side canyons here: http://www.gcex.com/side_canyon_gallery.html .
The image consists of the following elements:
• Terrain - A DEM heightfield of 'Havasupai Point'. ( 512 kb file: havasupai_point_AZ.ter imported into Terragen 2).
• Terrain - Strata and outcrops shader.
• 10m Cracks by dandelO available at the Planetside Forum.
• Stone Bed by FrankB available at NWDA.
• Wavy Terraces or Strata file by FrankB available at the Planetside Forum.
• Vegetation includes two populations of Dry Shrubs by Walli (#8; colored and textured with different image maps) available at NWDA.
A lot of fooling around with this one especially trying to get the stones/rocks to show up properly.
Enjoy,
Bob

amazing terragon image, I like to compare terragon abilites with Vue...but this one looks great.
Nice
The curve of the canyon wall on the left really helps to draw the eye that way for a natural viewing experience. This is just about perfect!!!
Fantastic and marvelous! I'd not put bushes on the more or less vertical strata, but other than that, perfect!
Fantastic image and lighting! Love the bushes! Corrie
Beautiful canyon Bob ! Love your rock walls and vegetation ! Success my friend !
Amazing and rich canyon scape, Bob!!!
This is a great render! Lots of detail for your eye to wander over.
very nice
Looks like you put a lot of thought and work into this one, Bob! Wish I had time do do something like this - maybe when I retire...
Your renders are becoming very nicely populated, Bob. May I suggest looking into creating a little atmospheric perspective which, I'm sure, will bind all the individual elements together.
Really impressive render... beautiful & realistic!
worth the effort i think...a very natural looking terrain, i would not have the patience for this !!!
Really well done, having just gone through country like this, I can say it is very realistic!
I'd love to travel around that bend and take in some more of this canyon! Gotta love this one!
Excellent canyon scene!!!
Stunning place, amazing work!
Sorry Bob, I missed this one. Its a beauty! Love the colors, vegetation, but most of all the POV, the low camera angle really works well here...super job!!!
