Beautiful :)

That would have to be terragen...

Looks nice :)
play with the atmosphere colour a bit to suit the place - high mountain air is nice and clear or with a touch of fog in the vallys if the sun is still low. play with the cloud height, it can make for some very cool light efects.

The water one is quite cool.

I hope you dont mind, but here are a few that I have rendered in the past...
This was one of my first:


This one was a first play at snow:


I realy like this one (big):

I like ur last one Apis, i can just see it with a lone cowboy walking through it with his faithful donkey.

And ur water one Arangol i can see a sea creature attacking a pirateship.

Iv used terragen befor and must admit its an amazing program that can keep me entertained for hours.

Omg Apis your pictures are SO much better than mine!

Yes I made them with Terragen but I found it boring after rendering nearly the same looking pictures over and over again so now I\'m doing more with other 3D programs like Blender.

@leopard89
>I like ur last one Apis, i can just see it with a lone cowboy walking through it with his faithful donkey.
That was the type of image I was aming at, and I think it works as well.
@Arangol
>your pictures are SO much better
just playing with the light and atmosphere can have a huge diffreance... see the curiosa3d.com website below for some textures for terragen as well.

The guy that has this website, http://www.terra-fied.org.uk/, started me on terragen. I cant get close to some of his work.
Some more of his work:

Tash (her early work is here: http://www.terra-fied.org.uk/tash/) is even better at texturing than Pedt is now.
Some more of hers:

Terragen is just the best landscape tool you can get for free. Thelimits of the unregistered version are not too hard, the registration not too expensive.

You just need to get in touch with the surface layer definitions to create credible and colorful surfaces.


Click the [X] links.

[X] Amazon rivers (won a 3rd place award in the TerraCon \"Water Works\" contest)
[X] Comanche - Silent Operations (\"Game\" contest - editing was allowed here)
[X] \"Demon\", class Y planet
[X] Night in the desert
[X] A really dry piece of earth
[X] Floodland (related to the flood in the eastern part of Germany when it was made)
[X] Even whole planets or moons could be possible.
[X] A rather rocky mountain
[X] Mount St. Hellens Atoll (a contest where its terrain data had to be used)
[X] Nightswimming (a contest to use a song as inspiration)
[X] Swimming pool (yes, I swear - only made with Terragen, nothing else!)
[X] Prison Island (a \"Buildings\" contest)
[X] Chalk cliffs at the coast of Ruegen island
[X] Another music contest: \"Deine Spuren im Sand\" (Howard Carpendale)
[X] [X] Another music contest: \"Stormfront\" (Billy Joel)


Do you want your personal landscape or even planet? Ask me...

Arangol. Though I think the same way, I do not believe you have a very long way to go.

Ligh. Beautiful graphics. Though i don\'t like too many colors in one place i still love your Night swimming(my fixation to matching colors must explain why i love Arangol\'s so much. No offence. You\'re still the best);)

Apis. Beautiful, from my point of view. I really like your mystic, blurry lake pictures ;)

Well here is a 3D model for a shield made by LigH for Lolitra(its in the post A shield for Lolitra (I don\'t know these forum-url-thingys so i can\'t make a link)).

I made it fast in Wings(10min) so its not perfect.

A Shield For Lolitra (now in 3D):



I don\'t know the story about it, I just looked at older posts and I hadn\'t anything to do so...

EDIT:

Here is another image of the same shield...I just smoothed it:

@ Baldur:

Really, really, really -- why do you need to quote the whole posting with the huge images, only to add one sentence?

A simple \"@ Arangol\" would have been enough.

Please edit your quote, to save some unnecessary down-scrolling time. Thank you.
