Started a new one today, getting neat results thus far.

Clay

Updated...adding extra layers as I go Wheee!

N-drju

It looks more like a plateau than a canyon. ;) If you want a canyon you'll need to work with the terrain. Still, I could make something out of what you have here as well given all the good work on the surfaces. The choice is yours to make, however.

Very nice start. I'd really like to see you push one of these to a more detailed level with stones,veg and possibly some kind of narative.

Clay

A newer version, tweaking out my veggie and haven't got the water tweaked out yet as well as the clouds.

Clay

Another version, still tweaking out settings a veg.

Honestly I like the lighting in the second to last one. Looks more clear like a desert and free of haze due to heat. Overall, seeing the steps you took  basically to get their is awesome. It looks amazing.

Funny I haven't changed the lighting LOL! Smoke and mirrors with terrains and veggie stuff I spect, But I agree with you, always works in progress and thanks for the compliments. Will trudge forward!

New update, almost finished with the image, gonna add a few more things.

Clay

Another update, going to fiddle with some rocks and displacement next.

Dune

Very pleasing render so far, great light. Some breakup of the flattish strata layers would be good, indeed by adding fake stones and/or a small displacement fractal (or fractal warp). Trees are nice too, but maybe move the big tree on the left out of the water (edit and move awya some meters) and put some waterloving species there; a patch of reeds, or willows perhaps.

Agree with Dune. You are indeed moving along nicely in TG3. The Population Edit is a most useful feature I've used in almost all pops since it appeared.
