I know that tg2 as a lot of possibilities than tg 0.9, but also tg 0.9 is a good version to render look real   scenery.

Then, to bring up one of TG2's favored points, TG2 can do clearly realistic spot-on exactly real scenery.  Have you seen some of the work here by a few who have used actual terrain files from real places?  Mt. Saint Helens and the Grand Canyon and some Arizona deserts are a few I remember.

I've downloaded a bunch of Arizonas dems, in particular all canyons of Coconino's county. I noticed that these dems have some good pov to render with tg2 or tg 0.9.

Well, here's a TG2 render...

It took about 50 minutes to render and the only big difference in realism is the textures on the more vertical faces.

c'mon you can do bettre
the clouds first, some fake stones  too...

I've tried a render with  the strata shader, but it doesn't affect colour, it doesn't even give lines on the vertical faces, only terracing...
And any more detail will give even more waiting time.

But I'll make it a beauty 

[Seth]

cool ^^

[Mohawk20]

And here it is... full detail TG2 render with real grass and clouds ["ohhhh, aaahhh"].

[rcallicotte]

Interesting.  I like how the forward grass looks realistically lit. 

[Tangled-Universe]

I agree Calico, the lighting on the grass looks quite natural and so does the patchy looking distribution.

[Mohawk20]

Thanks. Lighting is mostly high enviro light settings. Sure helps making the shadows visible...


Now I think I've hijacked Lalla's thread long enough. You can have it back now Lalla...
