Landscape Picture

I recently found the program called Terragen, and had been messing around to create a fairly decent picture of a random piece of Zalanthas.
I think, by room descriptions, Im getting closer, but the sky might be the most off thing. Here is the current picture Ive been using.

Wow!


DrunkenSalarr, who thinks at least it's not a "..." response.

Pretty snazzy!!  Is it just a landscape program, or can you add architecture or figures?

A picture of Whira's Tower would be pretty wicked through that, I think.

and thanks for the comments.

ill try to do some scrub plains ones.

and you cant add things through the program itself, but you can save as a bitmap and then draw in whatever you want really.

No offense Arm players but I like Jenreds sky WAY better.
I like a yellow sky tons more than a red one.

Beautiful Jenred, with a capital "B"

Very nice render, Jenred.

Y'know.. I've had Terragen on this computer for a pretty long time; before I started playing Arm.  It never even crossed my mind to use the program to render Zalanthan landscapes.  Going to have to try to make some of my own now.

Here's my first attempt at some Zalanthan scrublands.  A bit too much green stuff, I think; going to have to tweak that more.

Added what I think is a better render of a canyon. Maybe in the Table lands, but to me it has the canyon of waste feel.

Awsome canyon, I love it!

Master Z I belive you have a perfect tool to create Baobab backgrounds now

Wow, I love the canyon!  Beautiful lighting and texture.  I almost feel like I'm standing right there.

[Delirium]

Wow, I love that canyon.

Inspired me to download it and play around a little.

[crymerci]

I have to agree, that canyon is really spectacular.  

HaiWolfe, I like the scrub. Yeah, probably a little less green, and more brown.. well, tangles of scrub. Probably a bit flatter too. That's just me though.

Since people liked the canyon ones I did a few more since they were a bit easier. Ill try to do some desert things if I can work out a sand look.

enjoy.

Sweet.  I set that last picture as my wallpaper.

[HaiWolfe]

Got a question, Jenred.  How are you setting it to get the sky that color? Seems that no matter what I do, I get a horizontal gradient going from dark brown to yellow.

took awhile to figure out, i did the direct sunlight in a reddish color, then in the next tab over you can do tri-colored lighting, setting the downward light, ambient, and reverse lighting. that did alot of it.

then in the atmosphere fiddle with the haze effects, and change the constant blue... all together came out to the right effect.

Anyone interested... added some scrub... at least a try at scrub.

That is what I use already :/ I just don't put as much effort into it.

And its BaoBob.

Thanks for the tips, Jenred.

Here's my second scrublands render, created with a specific location in mind.
