Description
Modeling: Bryce4 Terrain Editor
Rendering: Bryce4
Inspiration: 1) Ayers Rock and 2) a scene out the window as I a blew through Nevada in a 280Z at sunset clocking about 125mph of pavement back in the early 80's.
Concept: I know this isn't Sci-Fi enough for most of you, but I wanted to re-create the barren reality.
Creation: The terrain was easy, 1) used 3 terrains, 2) eroded each to different strengths and fine tuned the finished terrain in the terrain editor. The harder part was the lighting - I worked long and hard to capture the reality of what I saw (ie: percieved).

My God...It's Three Minutes Ago
Having done the trip thru Nevada that you describe (blowing thru at 100+), I would have to agree youve captured it spot on. :)
In Geological physics, the landscape I've created cannot possibly exist...but then - that's why we have 3D.
Nice terrain and very nice atmosphere.
WOW Sky....
simple, yet effective. nice one
Great sky!!! It doesnt have the typical Bryce look. Its really realistic.
Appreciate the comments....thanks.
