Click on the blog.chipp.com to find a bigger version. There are things I don't like about Vue but this is cool.

this is also cool
but all these new 7.5 shots have very little depth in them compared to terragen 2

I agree. More images by the same artist (not the first one but the one in wetbanana's post):

It looks like E-on have radically improved terrain generation and probably other ways of using procedurals. The only thing that lets it down in my opinion is the clouds. Both TG2 and Mojoworld have better clouds. TG2's atmosphere is better. The planetary thing in Vue 7 in no way compares either as far as I can see but there are clearly definite improvements elsewhere.

A lot of users use geocontrol and i think that mountain in the image i posted is from geocontrol
I wonder how he textures his rocks etc I assume it is all image imports I could be wrong
if you look at this image here

you can see that he hides alot of the poor texturing detail with the sun position i would like to see that first image with a different sun position

here are some waterscapes with the new '7.5'

um they look great at first bht when you look a little closer the fractal detail looks rather crummy I know terragen can do better water than that I just wish we could have a better foam system like vues

It does look like Geocontrol but those other renders seem to be using a lot of procedural distortions for both terrain and some displacement and colouring of surfaces. This is something new. Definitely as far as terrain is concerned. The terrain builder in Vue used to be chronically bad. It has clearly moved to way more powerful procedurals.

poor wouldnt you say?
not a pach on nvseals

As far as I know this planetary thing in Vue does not mean you can have the kind of infinitely vast levels of scale shown on nvseal's image.

Also, TG2's level of surface detail in the renders seems very good (somehow) compared to Mojoworld and Vue.

However, I see elements of procedural processing going on in Vue 7.5 that TG2 is not capable of without at least some more functions such as a proper curve graph and colour gradient. Stuff that Mojo is capable of.

Judging Vue by its planetary renders isn't fair, nothing compares to nvseal's planets. But even for landscapes it doesn't match the best work that I've seen on thse forums.

whenI get into an argument with vue fanboys i always show them this image

It seems to shut them up!
and yeah agree with efflux we need more tools to mod are terrain
@ darthvadar im judging vue by all its buggy new tech thats been cramed in their for the mases at top wack prices when they still havent even fixed performance issues memory leaks display issues and a list as long as my arm  that have been in vue since I first started useing it and they where the days of Vue d'Esprit 4:o

[darthvader]

My bad, my remark about not bashing Vue was not sarcastic enough, all of my experience with view has sucked as well.

[Jack]

no problimo dude lets bash vue together lol im a fanboy ....!

No I still use vue sometimes I used to use it heaps before I got into terragen I was a vue suporter right up til 7 then it went downhill from their

I just got the new e-on newsletter: http://www.e-onsoftware.com/about/newsletter/

All their new features and adverts to use GeoControl just show they're trying to catch up on a lot of native Terragen features

He (nukeation, dax phandi) told me once he mainly uses World-Machine for his terrain and further adds details/displacements using built-in Vue-functions. So it are not imported images as far as I'm told/know.
He's a friendly and helpful guy by the way, doesn't bother him to explain how he did certain stuff and if I'm correct he's setting up a site with lots of tutorials and resources.
Let's say he's to Vue what we're to Terragen
