Please don't ask for a meaning in this image. I have no idea.
An older scene I dug out and tried to improve. Once again TG showed it's ability to handle huge amounts of models. While I could hardly edit anything on one of the quite detailed building/ruin structures in 3ds Max (a plane modified with several instances of the Greeble plugin), I have six of them in TG. Plus some more nurnies and structures. Plus some trees populated upon them. Plus some ivy branches growing upon them. Plus two populations of leaves on these branches with 4.2 millions instances each. Plus the pods or whatever this is with some quite detailed ivy structures.
And two layers of (V2) clouds with "receive shadows from surfaces" on.
Rendertime for this image in 4K was six and a half hours.

Btw: all models except the trees made by myself.

Nicely done.

Definitely a story in there.

Hey great, Hannes!
No meaning? I think it has one: "Resident Evil** meets Planet Of The Apes in District 9"    8) ;D


I share your enthusiasm about TG's ability to handle that huge amounts of models!
I had some models I couldn't even open in neither Wings3D nor PoseRay -- but no problem to open 2 or more instances in TG...



**Ok - for a Resident Evil context you would have to recolor the ivy into glossy black :) )

Very cool. I imagine it as the ultimate outcome of the "Day of the Triffids" scenario.

So, how much RAM is needed for that scene?

Saw the original 'triffids' back in the '60s.    Awesome special effects (to an 8 year old).  ;D

I have 16GB too but had to pull 2 /4GB ramchips out cos tg3 keeps crashing.....its ok to have these on my modelling apps, but terragen don't like the extra ram

great scene

Most probably those rams are faulty or something? Otherwise it makes no sense... :o
