Working on a desert using a GeoControl imported terrain and masks as well. I am not going to do any plants sense they look like crap anyways.

This looks very good! I especially like the clouds on the horizon. It sure does look hot there, I think I'm going to go get a glass of water  ;D

It is a very good start. Call it a salt bed, then you will not have to explain the absence of plants.

Could be a salt bed or it could be a dry lake bed as well. I might throw in some dry bushes somewhere about the rocks and hills i think.

The first one was MUCH better. Nicer light. No plants needed, perhaps a lost cacti, but between the rocks, not in the sand. I like the one rock in front. You could make some low flying sand (low, coloured cloud)...

Agree with Dune. There wasn't a whole lot to improve on the first one. If any plants, I would also add them to the rocks, most fitting I'd deem a few single grasses.
It would be nice to have this rendered at higher quality, though.

Regards,
Frank

I second Dune and Frank.
The suggestion of some dusty sand is very nice :)

Should be enough to work on those aspects.

Except for the lower 1/4th, this looks completely realistic.  Good lighting, too (which is a big help).

Well, i am not going back to this after i do my overhead view as the trouble with Terragen 2 is that one small change in a seed or node can mess up a lot. It's too figidy in that regard.

Forget the overview render. I am getting all sorts of masking errors and i don't have the time to fix it. Seesh, i need to take up drawing.    ::)
