Terragen is a landscape rendering program. You can create landscapes
from flat to mountainous or waterscapes, day or night views,
etc. The BMP files can be saved or put in Photoshop for further
artistic effects. I subdivided the landscape, put in mountains,
then canyonized it, put in snow and ice, then played with the
sunlight and atmosphere.
What
graphics software do you use on a regular basis?
Terragen, Photoshop, Blender, Vue d' Esprit
What
was the first graphics program you learned?
Photoshop
What
is your all-time favorite graphics program and why?
Terragen; because I love mountains and Terragen gives me a chance
to create landscapes that I would normally not see on this planet.
I can also plug in USGS maps and acheive accurate rendering.
How
long have you been working with graphics software?
1 year
How
do you use graphics software in your day-to-day activities?
Sometimes seeing 3D renderings of USGS maps of places that I
have hiked to or just as a hobby to see what different worlds
I can make.
What
is your best graphics tip or piece of advice?
Whatever piece of software you get, check it out very thoroughly
and put it through as much testing as possible. So you can see
what it may do in any given situation.
Where
do you get your inspiration?
Looking at the mountains, lakes and sea. I am blessed by living
right next to the Olympic Mountains in WA state. My inspiration
also comes from God.
I wanted a look of a dry and warm rangeland with mountains.
This image came up by experimenting with the density controls
in the atmospere portion of the rendering. I like the way the
fog hangs over the snow. (Just like it does in the mountains
around where I live.)
If you look real close in the lower left quadrant you can barely
make out a lake. I made the clouds to look as if there is a
storm front on the way in.
I always liked the way the sky and water can blend together
so well that you cannot tell where one starts and the other
begins. So I thought that I would try to duplicate that same
effect.
