Description All my terragen. Terrain, surf map and atmos.

Added a couple of duplicate layers in photo shop.
Made them in b/w with low transparency to accent the rock.

Thank you for looking!

It was a test of a few ideas on surf mapping. It was a great deal of work to make but I really like it.
The atmos, as usual is a bit weak but still works.

I like the atmosphere you created ... mysterious in a way and feeling like if silence will not be present anymore in this area. I love it.

Thats a very good observation. Now that you mention it, I guess I was going for that look.
It just seemed to be the right thing to do.
Thank you very much.

I will remember that. The more I think about what you just said the more I realize I think that with out realizing it.
But now that I do realize it I will think more about what it feels like. I think this will help a great deal with some artist blocks I have from time to time.
Thank you for that insight. It helped me.

I must admit that I do like the textures alot myself. I was goofing with this wood image, just to see what would happen and there it was.
Glad you like it, it gives me hope.

Sgtgrandpa In reply to matiiii [2008-09-15 18:50:46 +0000 UTC]

I agree on the clouds. Problem was that everything I did to change things, changed either the lighting or the light colors.
meh, decided to just live with it.
But your right, clouds could use work.

Used a mod overhand technique to get the rocks to look so wild.

TheMysteriousK [2008-09-15 07:56:50 +0000 UTC]

The rocks seem to have as much sweep and movement in them as the clouds. This is more than just realistic, it has artistic power.
