This is a .ter file I tried when TG first came out and noticed it again...I think the AZ together attracts my eye. Anyhow having been in this for years now I took another crack at it...Liking it so far but spotted some 'tearing' in a few places. No idea why that is as I added no displacement to the DEM based .ter file, the foreground Pine Tree is by Walli, and both grass populations from Dune's free pack, ver, 5 and 10 and an XFROG Bishop Pine population on the cliffs. C&C as always is welcome....

Nice one, Bobby. Except voor the sky (too wild), and the trees on the scree slopes. I would move them down a bit. Some waterplants along the shores here and there?

Definitely worth some more work - It's an excellent composition.

Thanks Ulco...agree the sky was a [lace holder and the trees, well they're restricted by slope and there's not a lot of level landings..if I increase the slope many wind up 1/2 embedded in the cliff...and sigh, most of my good plants are stuck on the 'boat anchor'. Was going to get it finally to the shop today(might be a video card as at last start up couldn't find the monitor and went into a clicking cycle I'd not experienced yet)but it's -34 C./-29.4 F. as I type over morning coffee. My pal's auto refuses to start...wish I was actually in Antelope Canyon atm...at least I'd be warm
complaints over...sorry...it's the c c c c cold talking.

Minus 34  :o That's quite awful, though frost can be so beautiful. Indeed, better render nice desert-like scenes!

Nice composition, Bobby. Love the isolated tree.

–29 ℉? Actual temp, not windchill? Brr. We're expecting the Arctic Express to enter our area today, but I don't think we'll be seeing anything like that. Keep thinking warm!

warm in here....I have a high efficiency gas forced air set to 71 F. so it's comfortable. It's the going out part I'm avoiding...except for the Tues. Nite Jam I just returned from. But I was picked up and dropped off so the cold exposure was limited heh heh heh

Hey what a nice strategy to keep the house warm :)
In my "Terragen-office" I have swiched radiator off... the cpu's do all the work ;D

I agree with the others ... some work on the clouds but the rest is a beautiful composition!
