Description


Made with Terragen. No postwork (except sharpen). My attempt to make a realistic looking TG picture. I am not quite satisfied yet, so I would appreciate some advise on how to improve the picture for a second try. What do you think does not look realistic - and what does? Thanks for your help PS. the terrain is DEM file :-)

Absolutely lovely strata (no, it's not to straight, toubab ;-) it's lowered at some places). But i agree about the vegetation distribution (on the left) ... that's the one and only point to improve this excellent picture!

cool pic lars - surface & terrain is perfect - i would try a sundown & darker grass, i think it would be more dramatic, but i'm not sure that the image would be better

pretty realistic, no doubt... and a wonderful pic, too. the only improvements I can think off would be to bend the strata in the background and to add one in the foreground...

Texturing is a bit unreal but a very nice pic (clouds are wow!)

WOW this terrain is beautiful! Stratas are very well done and realistic (just the limit strata/no strata is a bit strong) and in fact all textures are wonderful. Just as you said I think greens need a better distribution... Superb water and very nice sky also. A wonderful and excellent work!

Superb texture ... but IMO light/atmosphere could be improved

strata should only be visible when really steep. This picture shows strata on steep, and the debrit slope. It is a pretty real lookin pic already.

Sehr gutes Bild. Meiner Meinung nach ist das Wasser auch noch zu ruhig.

I like this image, but with a "dramatic sundown canyon version" it could be more interesting, but that is a matter of taste :-)

can this be rendered at 4095 x 4095 terrain and render size? that would be an interesting addition. (My comp wouldn't make it)

Thank you all for your suggestions and comments. I am very gratefull for this. Below is the list of issues until now (yours and my own). I will have a look at it when I have some more time for possible improvements, probably in in about 4 weeks, and then start making a second version.

  • Need better distribution of the greens, especially in the left side.
  • Change to displacement/bend of Strata.
  • The bottom limit/transition between strata/no strata needs to be less evident
  • Make strata visible only on really steep (not the debrit slope)
  • Disable 3D on clouds
  • Add some strata in the front also
  • Make a version with sage/drybush instead of greens
  • A more dramatic "Sundown Canyon" version, with darker grass?
  • Improve light/atm?
  • Some more realism to the textures?
  • Move movement in water?
  • Consider changing picture dimensions eg. to 1024x1024

And a few of my own additional thoughts: - Some of the rock texture down left look a bit "streched".

  • A few sharp edges in the terrain close cliffs (could be fixed with postwork?)
  • change of water color to maybe a bit lighter
  • Consider making a small animation of a flight through the canyon
  • ChristianFly jumping of the cliff with his paraglider ;-)
