Terragen erosion and rock study.
Makes me thirsty...............good scene. :)
A very good scene. Depicts the drought we're going through now.
The rocks and stones are perfect. Great level of detail and nice displacement. Maybe a leafless bush and dead tree here and there?
fantastic rocks and and an arid atmosphere but It feels a little grainy the small rocks in the distance seem too even in size and placing
very nice....love the details and the mood ;)
Nice to see some native TG erosion. I agree with the 'graininess' critique', unless that's what you were aiming for. I think this is a very strong TG render, love to see this at a higher res.
Very nice erosion. High level of details. I like it.

Lots of nonce stuff working in this one man. Good playing!
Thanks for all comments. Took me a long time to come up with something perhaps only a shade better.
I think the apparent grain came from not limiting the rock layers properly and perhaps the terrain erosion brought out any grain look. My intent was to keep the rocks off the valley floor. I hope this is a slightly improved version, had to resort to some compositing between new and old as in playing around I lost the foreground rocks I liked, but got a little cleaner sky and distant ridge.
Terrain uses a very small compute terrain patch size. This seems to produce the appearance of crack like features in the stones. The file has no overt crack nodes. But I believe small patch is reported to cause blotches too. Composite of two renders : detail 1 AA 16 combined with detail .9 AA 12.
That looks much better. And, the sky/atmosphere has enhanced the scene beautifully.
The stone details are great and that sky is nicely stormy.
full marks from me...needed a sip of water to finish viewing it, heh heh heh
Super stuff, gnarly rocks!
I like this scene, but the compositing caused a strange mix of rocks in the left down corner. I can't figure out how they interact. I would probably move my cam a bit to the right, if this were my scene. The light and colors, and stone structures are beautiful.
Nice scene. I want your clouds.

Yes, my composite work was sloppy I'm afraid. I even missed the corners in some spots, plus the suggestion, as you say, of one of those impossible object illusions. Well, it was supposed to be just a study.... shows I must study harder.
