too computer-generated?

I had to look twice: This looks like a landscape generated and composed with Terragen. In reality it is a photo of Bavarian mountains.

Wow, that's crazy. The lighting in that image is great.

Actually, the swiss cheese kind of resembles the pock-marked Santa Monica Mountains near m

That's actually why I started using Terragen: I was looking for a tool to create realistic terrain for a game project, and then noticed that unlike other programs, I couldn't always tell what was generated in TG, and what was a real life picture...

Wow! Firstly I was too excited, that this is a picture, I could believe. So yeah, I really like the questions about mixing real reality and CG reality, when often they look the same. This blows my mind. Everything right now could be a fake, where is the truth?

I really like the studio, which works on questions of reality, here one of my favorite projects. Okay, you can guess, that is not real, but how earnestly pictures looks like?
Also you can read about real and hyperreal. For me, it was super useful and opening things.

I wonder what processes trigger such regular strata. What do you think about it?
