I know there are purists that won't care for what I do but guess what? I don't care, I'm having fun again with TG not having to wait days for clouds to render when I can take a sky photo I shot and layer it in with Photoshop. Then add a foreground of another layer with a photo I shot in Monument Valley, Utah.
This first screen grab is what I rendered in TG2TP5. Second is with the layered in sky and MV foreground layer.
Back to playing! He He ;D
Incredible !!!
Using Photoshop and Terragen TOGETHER? ;D Now that's a great idea, love that! 8)
Have a look at http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=4464.0 ;)
You know what? I had a second look on it and - surprise - it works really well, both thumbs up! Wouldn't even notice what you did if you hadn't said it, nice work :)
Fine work, Buzzzzz1!!!
Nicely done!
It's the result that counts :-))) great work!
This is one of the reasons I put buzzzzz on my "to watch" list. He put together some amazing images this way. Glad to see him back in the game.
Merging photos with renders is a challenge in its own right, having to match the lighting, colours and overall ambience. Each to their own, I say. When I worked in games one of the musicians taught himself how to score his music and write it down. He'd create the music synthetically (big orchestra pieces), but hire a string quartet and record them as well, and mix it in. Made a world of difference to the music, and I see no difference here.
Anyway, rambling over. Looks good.
super job Jay....perfect results!
nice one, had to look a few times to see what u did and that the second one wasn't entirely a photo. Keep it up!!
Superbly well integrated! I'd like to see a bit more of the foreground done in TG, and of course the clouds ideally in TG as well, but I know that's not as easy (or perhaps possible) as we'd all like it to be yet. ;D

The end result is all the better for using photographed clouds and foreground, so why not? :)

nice one jay ;)
i always love your images great photoshop intergration :)
Superb, I like it ! Beautiful work with TG and Photoshop
Hi, I just looked at your marvelous result in amazement once again and wondered, what the complete photograph looked like. Would you mind to post it for comparison?
Best regards,

Hello buzzzzz1,
Saw your pictures on Terranuts first, quite some time ago, and am always amazed at the detail and atmosphere (in the widest sense of the word).
This is yet another amazing example. Thanks for showing it here.
AM.
Excellent post work.
The match in lighting in this is excellent. Th tricky part with making skies look natural is matching position of the horizons. Cropping out details in the photo near the horizon nearly always results in the sky's horizon being lower than the rendered horizon. The sky near the horizon ends up being more saturated/darker than expected and the perspective of the clouds is out, which I suspect is the case in this image?... but it still looks very good.
