Description
A forum thread came up recently about the use of overlays. Though fantastic results come from the skilled hand, I don't fall into that category. Rather I rely on Terragen's surface textures alone to obtain unique patterns. By tweaking almost every setting, sometimes accidents happen - like this. Then I save the layers.
I used a portion of this as an example in the forum.
Thanks for looking in!

Ahhh - you got to love it when accidents like this happen! They happen to me all the Time :-) Fantastic. Matt :-)
Lovely surface and excellent water - I've a habit of using low fractal noise and little bump - must try to break that, judging by this!
You are right, Terragen surface map is very powerful and allow us a lot of effects, realistic or not. And TGD will be much more powerful... Very good work on layers in foreground. Slope surfaces could be - imho - still improved. Beautiful render anyway !
Top work, you've certainly learned to know when to stop tinkering. Thank you for posting...;)
Water looks very good, surfaces are nice too.
Looks like mineral salts, very cool and detailed look. Kudos.
Accidently comming accross something gives you the most unexpected pleasures as in viewing this image, well done:):):):)
I sure wish accidents like this would happen to me. Excellent work all around Rich.
Agree with you, you know that I don't use overlays, because it is like apply a photo, no much fun on it. Super lichen surfaces!
Your surface work is among the tops in Terragen. We look forward to more of these in varying combinations in the future. Excellent picture Rich ...this one is a real beauty!
Very crisp and cool render...I have accidents with overlays...I'm no good with surfaces so I have to use all that I can...Hey...you should have put Uranus in this image...without overlays of course...LOL
Fantastic work on the surface, awesome render!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent surfaces !!!
Top Surfaces Richard!
