This rather interesting that this topic came up when it did...
For a while, I've been using Digital Blasphemy pictures (
www.digitalblasphemy.com ), but just last night, Michael put this link (
http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/ ) up in tigerbolt, and naturally i clicked on it
. i found a really cool, and rather simple landscape program. so, with just playing around, i made a few shots. you can see them at
http://wolos.d2g.com:89/terrainpics . be forwarned, some pictures are kinda big (3 MB for an 1152x864 render), so if you're on dialup, you may want to go and get a snack while you wait for it to download
.
i don't know, but i kinda like the renders i've made. it's just kind of fustrating how long it takes to render some (so far, i've had one go for 2 hours and 15 minutes, while i slept). otherwise, i like playing around and making pics like this.
