Description
For a contest over on GFX-forums.comTime spent on terrain: 9 hours (here is the heightmap [link] )
Time spent in terragen getting the right angle and POV: 3 hours
Time spent in PS to make it look purdy: 2 hours
Time spent waiting for it to finish rendering: too long.
Theme: Technology
Medium: Terragen and PS CS2
ALL TERRAGEN
oh btw, inspiration from bleze on renderosity
also, thanks to mayang for the stock!
EDIT: original render with no postwork: [link]
EDIT: I thought I had put this in the description, but looks like I hadn't, thanks for those that pointed this out: the surfacing was made through a mixture of bitmap overlay, and some of TG's own procedural texturing

Bryce I can believe but being made in terragen THAT'S IMPRESSIVE! I love it all the accurate colours, the lighting angle being so perfect even how you got all the writing exactly right my hat goes off to you this is perhaps the most impressive deviation I have ever seen.

I really don't understand anybody who says "This is fake" ..... but oh well. Very innovative use of Terragen. Must give you props for that. It's fun to see people use old software in new ways.

I fail to see how a height map used to create geometry scores big.
Many don't understand the concept I suppose.
It's not that it's not good, it's that it's too easy to create this kind of imagery.

Wow. This is simply STUNNING work! Many hearty congratulations; when I read the description I had to scroll up and down several times before I could believe it.
Awexome.

Not a photo? WOW. O_O
I've always thought those things looked like cities.

I can't believe only 9 hours on the terrain. I've got Terragen as well....all I know to say is DAMN! You are truly gifted with Terragen; I never even thought to do something like this with it. And to those who say it's a "fake"...this is how they build 3d stuff in movies; Build the 3D model, overlay, then edit the piss out of it to make the two match-up.
Damn Good!

Oh yeah, I can't believe Terragen did as well as it did on the original render.

yea, I was surprised as well, I was even more surprised how much better (imo) it looked after just a few color/brightness adjustment layers

This is Fake:
It's a simple photo taken, then added Bitmapping to raise.
There is no CGi.

So simple...
Infact it's not even that well done.

obviously you are delusional. This is a 3D render. I have seen things like this done, plus i have Terragen and i have done some cool things with it. Don't make comments such as "this is fake" if you don't know. Did you look at the original? did you? lol no i-fucking-dea about 3d stuff eh mate! dumb ass!

if you read my description, there was a mixture of the bitmap BMP, and a bit of my own procedural texturing...
