Description
Yet another example of simplicity in terrain layers - only three used including the base. A 2000 X 1500 image rendered in 1 hr, 16 mins. Post sharpened, detail enhanced, contrast / brightness adjust.
Terrains like this are made possible in World Machine via the settings in my Free Stuff.
Thanks for looking in!

amazing what surfaces you can make with only 3 layers! I'm a beginner and i went from no surface to low quali surface and now i'm in the phase of gigantically big surface^^ I've most often 3 bases, like for gras, stones, snow, and in each of them there are up to 6 sublayers :D Great Work man!
excellent quality! i'm very glad to see your work here.... inspires me a lot!
Beautiful, peaceful scene--I like the crater in the foreground, too!
Gorgeous atmo! Love the haze, lighting and water - awesome 3 layers!! V
Sky, lighting and atmos are excellent, the surfaces are imo a bit too sharp. A beauty of an image anyway.
Exc work! considering the resolution is a masterpiece; i'd like to see it in a highest resolution!
Fantastic work.
Wonderful terrain and POV, perfect surface, water, combination, brilliant atmo, light, sky, colors, mood and image!
Yeah...isn't TG great...Sometimes simple and fast are the best way to go...this is beautiful...I think I need to go back to simple...hopefully my work will turn out as good as this :)
Fabulous composition!! ~V~
Excellent. I think I should play with World Machine again soon.
Excellent POV and render !
Beautiful atmo and surface work!!
Outstanding! Again; all the elements of this composition are enhanced with perfect settings. Beyond excellent!
Wonderful !
love the colors!!
a fantastic view into the sun !!!
Lovely scene... and nothing lost with using 3 layers. Perfect calm water n coloration. I've been having a great time with your WM settings.. made 20+ terrains with it so far. Also I varied it a little with the river macro, and now the displacement filter. The filter is a pretty good one.
The depth & atmo are outstanding!
brilliant scene
Wonderful scene; A bit confused at first when you talked about simplicity and only 3 terrain layers, then understood you were referring to surface layers.
Wonderful Rich going to give the settings a try for sure.Only 3 layers hard to beleave.Stunning work.V
Esquisite. Three layers, yes, but perfectly distributed! That takes some skill, no? And I find one set of surfaces does not work for all terrains, each needs tweaking. On the other hand, your point is very well made!!!!! LOL
Wonderful!
wow, this is excellent Rich2.
