Well, the trail already does it, IMO. But I would keep the distant mountain/hilltop kind of bare, perhaps a few patches of trees only. You could (just for experimentation) also try adding a soft (50%) simple shape exactly on that mountain top, masking a surface shader before the compute terrain, where you set smoothing to minus 0-1, and add a crude (size of mountain top, but detail at 0.7-0.95) fractal warp as child. Or a ridged PF displaced up. See what happens. In principle you should get some 'Dolomite' like rocks.

Cocateho there are thousands of free objects around the net.Why you don't search for a cabin for example?
If you have problems to use objects with Terragen just do a search first here and then if you need help ask.
Nice progress on the scene.

Update with added trails and other small tweaks... also somehow one of my cloud layers got deleted so I made a new one... so if you're thinking the clouds are different you're not crazy (well, maybe...).

Dune - That sounds like it could be pretty cool I might have to test the concept by itself a little bit first to get a feel for what to do. I'm thinking I might make the top of that mountain a "bald" and put a surface layer or two with a little displacement to mimic grass. A bit like this [attach=2]

... Took that one myself, near Roan mountain straddling the TN/NC border, if anyone here likes a good hike.

Kadri - I actually did search without much luck. Found something I had hoped would work, not the best model but would've been ok at a distance but it didn't seem to want to behave in terragen...

Have you see this one?

I haven't tried it but it looks usable. There might be better ones but i don't know.
Some of our friends here have used it in the past i think.

Nice scene. I like the path as it gives me somewhere to stand and a context for being there.
It has been eaten.

The path made it more real for sure. Nice.

Felt like I had mad it a bit over-sharp, so I softened it a bit. General opinion on which is better?

Dune

I prefer the former, sharper. This is too soft.

DocCharly65

I personally prefer the new softer one.
