Description
Been neck deep in Geocontrol2 and Carrara's terrain shaders this past week. This is a WIP of a large alpine scene, nearly all of the shaders are procedural - but needed to use some maps exported from Geocontrol for some extra realism with snow distribution. I have sort of been working from the top down so the valley floor is somewhat unfinished at the moment.

Nice distribution of the trees! Very realistic!! Anyone up to hit the slopes?!!!
The tree line still a little hard, but looking great.
Canada?!
Nice work. GeoControl is a blast.
Great Start!
It is very well done. I thank you for it. 5+!
Nice landscape. Well done.
Unfinished or not, makes me want to take a DEEP breath of that fresh air! :)
Wow...great realism,as with all your works...fantastic image!
Beautiful work.
Looks great!
This looks very cool - maybe in more ways than one!
Great work. The infinite skills DVD has a section that discusses creating realism with the surface replicator by changing the values of things such as rotation and size. I think a little more variance in the tree sizes would be very helpful here. Great work all the same. The render is VERY clean. Cleaner than any that I have made yet. :-)
Excellent
Fabulous work!
Good work, Howie! Just keep reflecting the beauty of our Planet.
Most impressive! Very realistic image - hard to tell it's a render. I'm a Bryce guy, so I have no idea what you mean by shaders. Great image nonetheless!
Looks great so far! :-)
Nice that you would share a WIP. This is looking great, so far.
Very impressive vertical scale in this image!
