Yes, I did the same thing we all did with Google Earth: I loooked at the place I live. Grenoble is the biggest town of the french Alps. It is between 3 ranges:
-north: Chartreuse
-east: Belledonne
-west: Vercors
At the center of the image is the ski resort of Chamrousse. The big white moutain on the left is...the Mont Blanc (White Mountain! ::)), 4810m and highest mountain of western Europe. On the right you can see the glacier of "Les 2 Alpes" ski resort (you can ski in summer there!)

Great render! A terrain maker's dream come true area, haha Your region seems to have it all there.
One of many underused functions in Terragen, everything is lined up nicely, that was a an issue for a while until they fixed it. Very nice
It's not that underused in my line of work for sure. ;)
The lining up thing was a pain and occasionally still is when the image projections are slightly askew compared to the DEM.
Anyway! A beautiful area of the world. Well done.
Very well handled elegac...great image.
