Made this one up yesterday. I was looking through the NWDA galleries. Had inspiration.

I also posted the tgd file for anyone to play with.
nice one njeneb...love the terrain/vista....and I will have fun exploring your tgd file...cheers!
The file is simple. I like simple since it renders faster. Thanks for the comment!
Oh, yes, I like those monolithic mountains, and the rugged texturing on them.
I thought at first you had a pre-generated heightfield loaded in to get this effect, but if it's incorporated in the tgd I'm going to have fun with it as well.

I hit random in the height field a couple times. Interesting landscapes magically appeared. This might be my best so far.
looks good, however I think it loses some of it's impact from what I can only imagine is a crazy amount of jpg compression on the file, using a lot of compression really takes away all the fine detail.
I use the free version. This allows 3 AA max. I have tons of overtime this month. If I can keep the other expenses from stealing my capital, I may be able to afford the full version by Sept. 1. I switched from $8.00/pack cigarettes to $2.00/pack cigars. USA and NY are strange. They tax cigs like crazy, but pipe tobacco and cigars? Barely.
I like a man who has his priority's in proper order!
Could you be in danger of adding Terragening to your list of addictions/vices?
I recently went to the doctor complaining of high blood pressure. He gave me some tablets and advised me to do it no more than once a month. As you can see I'm taking his advice. ;D

I am a sufferer of micro-vertex jitter. I also have insomnia, bad eyesight, I like Girls Aloud, and have a bad case of scruples. Here's a link to a different view.

I changed the camera location, the population density, and the altitude constraints.

Hard of hearing as well then. :o
It's a nice scene, has the real retro feel of Tg 0.9 about it. Nothing wrong with that. ;D ;)
I like the majestic sense of this setting.
Hi
Cool Terrain,
but I would try to smooth it a bit...
ciao
Naoo
It needs some work, ok lots of work. I was shooting for a base scene. I normally make up my landscapes between 7pm and 11pm before work. This will make a nice start so I don't have to start from scratch.
I like the shapes of the monoliths - thanks for sharing!
I finished this render yesterday. I changed the displacement amplitude and hit random on the height field. It took forever to render since I forgot to turn off the water shader. It's still the same landscape as these others. I thought it came out well, considering how simple the set up terrain file is.

nice view ...
I m always afraid making a huge population (time render)...
what is the length of yours ??
NKAID...
Very cool terrain, good job!
It took 23+ hours, but as I said, I forgot to turn the water shader off. It was not needed. Since I had a 12 hour shift, I thought that would be about the right time. I like it.
I like the first image's point of view most ,-)
Yea Volker, I agree. I hate having my computer just idling. I made this landscape to be flexible. On my Flickr pages is a different view of the same landscape. I did it first, and thought the POV posted just above might be interesting. Here's the link to the first render.
