Wow, Terragen looks outstanding, and I like that creation time
!
I have very little x.p. with terrain/landscape art, but here's my attempt (certainly fun to do);
3ds Max, Mudbox, PhotoShop (for texture creation only, no touch-up on render).
~ 4 hours (at least...? I did a lot of learning on this.. ack!
)
The snow is all part of a mix map, using a falloff map in it, -with just white used. The ground texture looks like this:
rock texture. The rest of the ground is from a: mix map, bump map, reflection map (if you look to the right in the pic, you can see the stars getting reflected on the ground for a little sparkly effect
), and the Mudbox displacement map, -and one light (Mental Ray Omni), ~ 14 minutes to render this frame;
