enjoy!
Somehow I can't help but think of the water run-off from parking lots when I look at that picture.
Like oily puddles :P 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.
neat.
looks like he plugged-in oily nodes into the water object. :D
I'll look into this to see how you did that ^^
thanks for sharing, it gave me some odeas !

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
no iwouldnt really call that art either
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 :)
Kadri.
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.

I never called art my works with TG2.
And I am always very dubious when I heard someone calling himself an artist doing TG2 (not only TG2 but a lot of other stuff)...
To be honest, I think very few in here can be called artists, to my humble point of view. I am not going to enumerate people I consider as artists (I am afraid to forget someone and to upset those I won't consider as artist)
So how would you define art then Seth? Given that photographers who work seriously in landscapes sometimes style themselves "fine art photographers"?
İ think i know what Seth is trying to say.
Years ago (15-20?) i had a conversation with a friend(long story) he asked: How much dpi does a picture to be ,to considered as art?
(The resolution of pictures were realy low at these times)
I said : Art is not evaluated with dpi.
İt is not the same as we talk here...But i have sean many long threads and there are many books about this. İt is realy not easy to define.
Good luck :)

A Supreme Court Justice once said, "I may not be able to define pornography, but I know it when I see it." Art is defined in much the same way. Also, what I like as art, you might think was rubbish. There are many things in modern art museums I look at and say to myself, 'huh?'
I consider myself an artist, but not a good artist. More of a 'barn painter'.
I sometimes consider myself as a texture artist or a Photoshop artist. Sometimes even a "digital 3D" artist with Anim8or.
TheBlackHole , you make me laugh :D (Not in a wong way ;) )

I consider myself an artist as i do alot of art off the computer aswell and I would call my terragen pieces art too

Cheers.
Kadri.
I dont have a scanner ae sorry its not that great my work lol!
İ bet they are better than you say :)
I used drawing pens (rapido?). For many it's not a artistik thing but i liked it. İf i can find my old pictures(black and white) my new TG2 render will be one of these old things.İ will atach the old one too.
Anyway....This is your thread :)
Kadri.
99% of my drawings are black and white too.
