Can you give us more detail on which maps you used as I can't see any DEM data on the website

[cyphyr]

The data you want is the "Land-Form Panorama" about half way down the page.
Comes as  DXF [Contours], ASCII grid [DTM], NTF [DTM]

This product is supplied both as a set of contours and spot heights (Contours) and as a gridded digital terrain model (DTM).


Technical details

Format: Contours: DXF™. DTM: ASCII grid and NTF.

Tile size: 20km x 20km

Data structure: Vector.

Resolution: Contours: vertical interval of 10 m. DTM: grid points have a post spacing of 50 m.

Scale: 1:50 000.

Update frequency: Unmaintained.

Supply: Online download and DVD.

Coverage: Great Britain.

It comes as a 530MB zip download that includes both Contour and DTM (Digital Terrain Map in NTF and ASCII format) data. I used the DTM ASCII data.
You need to give them an email address to send the download link to.

Hope this helps

Being a Somersetian I am of course biased, I love this Richard!!! Gonna have to check that site out. Are the data sets easy to get into tg?
Cheers (my dears)!!!

I loaded it into Global Mapper and saved it out as a GeoTiff, simple as that. I think here's some free GeoTiff converts. I know there are some free NTF converts, there's some links on the forums somewhere.
Gota couple more brewing, hopefully tomorrow:)

Does anyone know of any free or cheap alternatives to Global Mapper?

Very nice feeling you have here! Cool rays too!

[cyphyr]

Ok here's another iteration, this time from effectively the opposite point of view, the other side of the island. I'm  not quite so happy with this one and also I have realised that I've loaded the terrain tile too small! They come as 20km tiles and I've loaded it at 10km! This may end up as a happy accident since the compressed terrain may give a better "feel" for the landscape.
C&C as always welcome
Hmm, lighting's all right but I don't think much of the cloud actually.
Cheers

Beautiful and those clouds are amazing!

[Simius Strabus]

Very nice render. Love the god-rays 

[cyphyr]

Ok here are some updates. Pretty much the same scene each time, just changed the camera and sun position and changed the cloud.
C&C always welcome.
Cheers

All are nice , but i especially like the tree shadows in the third and the colors of the fourth one Richard!

Rays from the tree shadows in Sunrise2 are quite nice.
