Description
I tried something a little different here. I used the same texture file for the pebble overlay as I did for the strata. I am not yet sure whether or not I like this picture.

This DOES look just like the painted desert, and I think it enhances the look of the surface the way you did it! Excellent work Bob! :)
Bob once you havd done it. Excellent surface strata and terrain, Super rays.
Bob, maybe you're not sure - but I am! This is wonderful art! "Painted Desert" is the right name for this image. The surface is very pleasing to my eyes and the atmo gives a nice sense of depth to the terrain. Btw. I really like this sky - would like to see it again in one of your following renders... Excellent work!
Ok Bob, now we know you and Mother Nature work hand in hand.. Supurb rays.. Great terrain.. Wonderful!!! V
Bob, this is a fantastic render
Very nice!
This is a royal vista for sure!! Amazing the sense of granduer you have achieved here, believe this could be the best terragen image I have seen!!
Very nice sky and surface !
These are beautiful, soft, surfy cliffs ! Lighting, sky, surface, strata is very nice too. Superb work !
Excellent Surface,Terrain and atmo !
Wonderful sky, wide view and surface !!! Excellent render !
Great surface and atmo! Wonderful picture!
Splendid lightings and shadows on a beautiful surface!
Superb surface and terrain (it goes on for miles!); nice strata and rays too
Beautiful scene! What about using a heightmap for the strata? Xlt work! :-)
i especially like the lighting and the variations on the surface. no doubt, this is a very beautiful scene, Bob.
Coloring, atmo & rays are what I like here most...!
Looks like everyone already said what I would. Only thing I would change is to use a height map with the strata layers to give it a little variation. The strata slicing the horizon seems a little unnatural to me. :D Cheers!
Strata is a little too rigid for my tastes, but this is still an excellent picture.
Excellent surface and terrain....well done.
The strata and pebble distribution texture work fine for me, though a subtle strata distribution map may prove to be an asset. I am troubled by the transparency of the water in the foreground, it looks a somewhat surreal and foreground shadows are always troublesome for textures. I would suggest that re-visiting this image would be worthwhile because the basics are very strong and well done and the image deserves it. BTW the atmosphere is top-notch here, I like the colour and the subtle rays.
The ruler-straight strata may be what you are not sure of. Terrain (Navajo?) is very desert-like & texture colors work very well. I like the atmo - looks like an impending storm.
I like this picture Bob...the shadow foreground and rays are cool and the green atmosphere makes it seem alien or Sci-Fi...excellent work!!
The result is beautiful with this choice of colors.
The atmo is really fine. Reminds me some indian lands. Wonderful
nice rays! great work
I think the background of this picture is stronger than the foreground. Beautiful picture though, keep going
Beautiful...agree with nostra....Painted desert!
Just love this sky and atmo Bob ! The depth of the image is perfect ! The subtle rays and shadows add great dimension to this image. The surfaces are also excellent ! I like this image my friend !
Great surface and POV. I love the depth. Fantastic atmo
