Creating the image wasn't over 3 hours for any of them, rendering was 30 minutes at most (which can't be said for my 2048x0248 skyparms).

Terragen?

The problem with messing around with it is that you tend to get very round shapes unless you run it through a filter. Some of the tall snowy mountain images need the craggy rough look.

I also find that the third one from the bottom, it looks kind of odd when you've got a light fog, but the sky shows no sign of any gaseous atmosphere.

Personal favourite? Fourth from the top. Love the blurry depth-of-field thing. Beautiful golden light. All you'd need are some temple ruins and it'd look perfect for some lost Inca valley or something [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

I know about the shapes, that's why I model my terrains now. And about that fog - well, that was just messing with a black sky. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

Nice! I use the "world machine" for creating my terrains [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] It's really cool, there's another good programm that people tolld me is better than the world machine, but since my pc is so slow I don't make many images anymore...

But you remembered me - today the results of TERRA World contest should be released [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif])

The 4th and 5th are excellent. The third one has really cool water.

This is a recent one I did, when I had to show I was better than someone. I only spent about 20 minutes on it though (including the rendering)

I was trying to have mist rise up from the lakes. I partially succeded.

Oh if you don't want me showcase this here just tell, I'll then get it out of this thread asp. I don't want to steal your topic.
Just thought it would be useless to start a new topic for that. (Before you know it we'll have that whole terragen fetish from 2 (?) years ago again...)

Triple post! Matyy, behave! Anyhow, I prefer Leveller.

And vedder; I don't mind, at all. Some SOPack Water Opacity plugin might work well with it tho.

Added 5 more renders, some old, some now. All 5 are at the bottom of the thumbnail series.

Fourth from the top is my favorite, but they're all great.

I'm thinking of downloading terragen, now.

Some great work in there. But I think you could vastly improve them by working alot more on the heightmaps. Also in some it looks awkward towards the bottom of the mountains where it should blend into the water. These 2 flaws are actually the most common problems in terrain renders. I'd love to see these with slightly reworked heightmaps [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

What did you use to make those?

Sorry if you already said and I didn't catch it.

TerraGen. No edits in PS afterwards, either.
