Sure you can. Try this. Take a photo out your window and integrate a terragen scene into it. It could be a sky, a tree or a bit of everything. Supply the before and after shots. Might be fun :) ?

Here's the photo to match with the 3D applications of your choice and my WIP placeholder for now...

I thought terranuts was dead?

I really like your WIP!
The atmosphere is a tad bit too bright and you need to work out the translucency and diffuse settings for your grasses.

A nice tip for your grasses is to tilt them with ~4 degrees for the bigger grasses (and reduce their density).
Then add 2 small lumpy grasses with some colour variation (a bit brighter/dryer) and tilt them by ~7 degrees.
You'll notice this tilt from close-up, but from distance it will look like you have a rough surface with lots of (fake) variation.

Cheers, Martin.
It was very quiet for a while but not dead. There's been a nice bit of streamlining to the site. And a refreshed member of staff list, which is why I was allowed to darken the doors again. ;) :D

If there are any members here, please participate in the contest if you have time. It's just for fun. If you're not a member, sign up and join in too. :)
