Description
This is another Part 1 Collab, ~zoanoid had just completed a wonderful airbrushing of a Lion and Hummingbird, but felt he needed a better background for his next piece, a pair of eagles fighting, so, upon approaching me, this is what I came up with. I hope it can be used as-is for a wallpaper as well as with additional objects, but I do feel honoured my work can be used in this way. Good luck to himThere are two larger versions and (once approval is made), prints up to and including 24x16 sizes available.
1920x1440
1600x1200
The technical bits:
Two terrains have been downloaded in NED data format, converted by 3DEM, combined in Terragen to make one more interesting terrain, pushed through World Machine to add Thermal, rain and river erosion, then reimported to Terragen for texture additions and render, then out to Photoshop for colour correction and triangulation removal.
Hope you all enjoy my work

Shadows look pretty un-realistic - the first thing I would note if you were going for realism. The clouds are pretty...weird, but I've yet to see anyone master those anyway. Nice image.

I enjoy all these new places you create. You compose them all very well. The grassy hills to the right is my favorite part. I don't know much about terregen so technically I can't comment - I scenery & this is a place I would enjoy visiting! I look forward to seeing the next part of the collab

Wow, those are some good looking mountains, the plain old gray of the mountain seems odd, to me at least but it doesnt really detract from the picture, tight, as always,

Very nice...well done on this piece. The peaks could use a little bit of work with the textures...I mean the base of the peaks I mean, where the gray is, but damn fine job. Love it.

You rule as always

Excellent work! Thanks for posting the technical details as well, it's always fun to read about how the work was done and what went into it. I bought 3DEM recently so am going to mess with it a bit

Lovely composition, stotty.
If I were to pick, I'd ask for a bit more variation in texture to the rock faces, maybe slightly less shadow at the far left.
Oh, and a bit of noise thrown in for good measure

If this existed in real life, I would definitely spend my next vacation there! This is simply beautiful
Keep it up, I look forward to your next deviation!

Now that is a mountain and a half
just one thing, that gray rock at the bottom looks a little strange.
Other than that an amazing scene

very nice work... excellent terrain can't see any triangulation maybe the mountains could be more rough... they look so soft now. the only thing i miss there is water... maybe a small lake or something. the sky could be more dramatic... and the textures... nearly perfect... but the mountains ...looks like they're just gray and white. and i have to agree with someone who has commented here... i miss some sort of emotion that is so typical for your works. - anyhow a special TG pic

I ADORE this, stotty... how is it you manage not only produce flawless scenes, but also places which I would utterly fall in love with?
*sigh*

great piece as usual !! Even if i would prefer more rocky mountains ... see i didn't say too smooth
Good job master !!

Ah Stotty, not my idea of a good terragen piece. Im sure it took some time to make but the mountains to hill transition looks just too fake. And unlike your other pieces, I don't feel any emotion being conveyed through this piece.

oooooohhhh.. I really like this one... Love the rolling hills
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Really like this - it will be a great background for eagles fighting for sure
A couple of things though...
Seems that the shadow lightness may actually be too dark in this one. Although setting the shadows dark makes for some nice contrast, sometimes it hurts the realism. Especially in the lower left corner and in the other green areas.
The rock textures on the mountains don't seem varied enough and looks a little too smooth. Maybe scale it larger? Don't know - not very good with surface scaling myself.
BTW
I don't see the triangulation that Aleks and Fusionx sees in this, unless they are talking about the basic triangle shape that most mountains have.
I do love the terrain, and the whole thing has a nice majestic feel to it, which is fitting for such majestic birds I guess
The clouds, although not as dramatic as most of your other pieces, are very realistic IMO because there are two types of clouds in the same sky - not sure how you pulled that one off, but nature does it all the time
Great Job overall as usuall

oooooh.... oh my. this is wonderful work!!! great job. i lvoe it. *sighs* yet another beautiful masterpiece

nice idea, I know you can do way better then this though m8
The brown-ish colours do not go well with the snow and grass (Wich by the way look great) I think you could work on the bump settings as well.
Sky could be more detailed, keep on trying Stotty, we're all watching

This is very nice work as usual! That is alot of steps to go through but worth it. The thing I see right off is the grass in the distance. I believe it could use a bit more texturing to match the grass and snow in the foreground. It looks too plain, so to speak. Very beautiful scene though. You have inspired me to go back and try another Picture just when I was giving up on Terragen. Great work!

I love the way you set up the scene, very beautiful and realistic. The textures in the front are just fine to me, although the mountains in the back are too smooth. I think I just sounded like a stuck record repeating what others said lol
I especially like the snow and the soft clouds. Good work

this is one of the rare instances i wish there was a "LOVE deviation!" button.
I LOVE the texture of the ground closest to the camera...snow, dirt, and grass...
very very nice work, i think this is a

Very beautifull scene. I can really image two eagles fighting in the sky over there
I think there are some odd shadows in this one though -- especially near the bottom left and the bottom left hill -- and the texturing up close looks a little ruff, but other then that there is really very little to comment on. It just is another one of your great renders

I am just so impressed with your level of skill. Man, this is so cool.
I'm gonna go download one of the bigger ones...
Excellent!

It looks great but would it look otherwise coming from you
Now to pick at it.....the textures are great, but the terrain looks too smooth...some more chunkies might look good...also some more textures on the bottem of the mountains would look good. Other than that......top notch work mate
