Wow its been a while since I've been here.I was just messing around with the redirect shader and the twist and shear shader. The clouds are just temporary and more of just a filler. Any suggestions on terrain coloring or clouds?

Cool pov and I also like your "temporary clouds". : D
The terrain looks very volcany, maybe you may want and try some dramatic colouring - very dark or almost black for the lower cold-lava-like terrain, some water to fake aktual hot lava and a glowing sky again with high colour contrasts.
The most important thing this render needs is a structured surface map imo.
Keep it up!

Hey thanks, you gave me a great idea for the terrain. I want to make each layer (or maybe groups of layers if I have to simply it) a varied progression of hardened lava. The only problem is I really don't know how to color each little layer of it. Can someone give me a few tips? I'll post the file along with this post. Also if there is a way to make water fill in only certain ares I might be able to do the lava idea too. I'm a bit of a beginner at this stuff.

If you want a shader to fill in only certain areas, the painted shader is your friend - just type "painted" in the Search box.

Thanks for the file.

I like your beginning.  It might be cool to have something like hot lava seeping under the surface of your cracked terrain.  Cool beginnings.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

I added some color to landscape and made some new clouds. Think the color is going in the right direction?

It's a little difficult in this lighting to see your coloring, but what I can see looks pretty good.

How did you get the ground to be like that?

They just issued a tornado warning and said to stay away from windows. Does that mean I can't use my computer?
