How can I create realistic water surfaces and reflections in Terragen? I want to make a scene with a lake and mountains, but I'm not sure how to adjust the water shader and the lighting settings.

Can you show an example of what you're trying to achieve?

Quick starter Lakes and Mountains example scene...
Look into, change the parameters and then build your own.

Example scene
I highly recommend looking the videos from "TerraTuts" how you can do things in and with Terragen.

For example building a mountain

For example create a basic lake
