Somehow I can't help but think of the water run-off from parking lots when I look at that picture.

Like oily puddles

Well, on a much larger scale.

Or maybe a visiting French artist doing an art landscape. I don't mean anything bad, I liked the stuff the guy did with cloth in Central Park, NYC, and in California.

looks like he plugged-in oily nodes into the water object.

can you explain ?

I think it was 2005. A guy came to NYC and draped colored fabric over arches in Central Park. It looked really cool. He also did some landscape work in a valley in California using cloth. I think he was French, but I could be wrong. It was some time ago, and wetbanana's image reminded me of it. Otherwise, I would never have thought about it.

The artist's name is Christo and he is actually from Burguria (although he sounds french). He most well know for his use of cloth to create art; his most famous work is the arches in NY city, Running fence (a project where he had a 24 mile fence built in california and had it covered in cloth), or when he surrounded several islands in Florida in pink cloth. Wow, I guess studying for my art history test on Monday is going better than I thought

Thanks Darth. That is the artist I was remembering.

Great file! I like the colors and I am definitly playing with your set-up.

I have been lucky to see a couple Christo installments. The Islands project in Miami was very beautiful.

mmmh... so this is... art ?

still didn't have the time to try your water wetty but i'll do as soon as possible :p

Jack · October 17, 2009, 05:24:16 PM

no iwouldnt really call that art either

Kadri · October 17, 2009, 06:16:46 PM

We are pushing buttons,changing,aranging pixels on an 20" screen....and we are doing this in the boundary of a program created by Planetside... maybe even Matt itself doesn't know where the limits are...but you know what i mean...
Christo is changing the real landscape.
Maybe he would not call what we do art...

Not that i like what he does...But "what is art" is realy a difficult question. There are many answers. Becouse of this i prefer "ı like this" or "ı don't like this" approach.
Wish my english was better to say what i mean.

As a side note about Art. İ always wonder what this kind of creators (like Matt in TG2 or Lightwave and such programs) feel when they see rendered images from someone...hmm

Henry Blewer · October 17, 2009, 07:33:37 PM

I know how I would feel. Great, cool, and what will they do next? I'm sure all the great work makes the programs happy. Hopefully as more people learn about Terragen 2, they get quite comfortably well off.
